Versus F is rarely full, KA FAs are generally excellent IMO, and it's a lot better to be stuck in 2A for a 1.5 hour ground delay than those god awful regional seats.
I don't recommend this at all for an F class "experiencer" type, but if you're a business professional it's as good as it gets regionally.
I don't *think* CX's strategy with their awful regional seat is to encourage me to buy KA F, but admittedly it has done that on a number of occasions in the last year.
Yes, the infamous delays! It was quite good on-board even with the 2 hour-ish pushback delay. Had a good chat with a few of the FAs in F. Interesting to see so many DM's on one flight (although from what I read on FT its quite common on PVG/PEK flights)
