CX vs. BR in J, BKK-SFO
I'm really torn here. BR is approx 10% more expensive. Flights are similarly timed. I could fly the 350 or the 77W on CX. BR is the 77W. Haven't flown CX in a while, have always enjoyed it, but a bit put off by all the reports of declines in food and service quality. CX wins on lounge at both BKK and HKG. On the other hand, recent flight on BR was possibly my best business class experience ever - really amazing service. CX would be better for mileage accrual, as I can credit to AS at 350% (vs. BR to UA at just 125%), though that's a relatively minor concern.
Thoughts?
