Overall, this is disappointing. I've flown one "roundtrip" (LAX-ICN-JFK) in F, about five years ago, and loved it. Onboard service was perfect. A member of cabin crew was stationed to stand at the rear of the F cabin and watch to see if anyone needed anything. They did this in shifts and rotated. I had western food one way and Korean food the other. Both were excellent; I was particularly impressed with the western food. Right now I'm looking at options for a one way from SEAsia to JFK and was looking at OZ (that's why I'm reading this thread). Is really as bad as all that? It was so great before.

A couple of years ago I was flying BOS-HKG in CX F. Departure is a bit after 1 a.m. I was the only pax in F and asked one of the cabin crew if the temperature could be lowered, as I can sleep much better when it's cold. She said, "Yes, certainly" and asked me where I would like it set. I asked for 19°. It was done and I slept great!

EY's cost cutting in F is much discussed over in that forum. And QR has pretty much gutted its QRPC frequent flyer program leaving it more or less worthless, the subject of several threads over there.

This is all so disappointing to read. But forewarned is forearmed, I guess. Sigh.
