J in Cathay vs. JAL from/to ORD / BOS

Hi All,

I'm wondering if you have any experiences/thoughts on the flights to and from BOS and ORD. For me the timing of the different flights works out similarly enough and both NRT and HKG are easy enough connections to make.

Based on some searching the forums and reviews, what I gather is:
- JL I'll probably get long-haul aircraft/equipment of on all legs, while with CX the connections to HKG will probably be on the regional J
- HKG lounges IMO are much better than the Sakura NRT lounge (not that it's bad either)
- 'hard' product seems to be different but equally good. And in my (limited) experience service/food on both are good, tho I prefer Japanese a bit

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
