I'm looking to book one of Airnet.co.uk's very competitive J class fares LHR-SYD with CX via HKG (next March), but I have some questions before I book and I wondered if you guys can help me.
1. Which is better in J, 744 or 343?
Depends on you really. I like 343. Some prefer the 744.
2. If I go with 744, how do I go about securing a seat upstairs?
Just requesting through the agency?
3. Do all the planes on this route (and the 333 and 343 to SYD) have NBC?
If you do a search on this forum and on the CX website... yes , yes and yes. All CX long haul intercontinental aircraft have them.
4. I usually travel BA (have never flown CX before), so I'm very much looking forward to experiencing CX J class. Any tips for getting the most out of it?
Yes. Don't compare it to BA.
Your help/information would be greatly appreciated.
Remember you still get BA miles on this ticket.

PS: The J-class fare that Airnet.co.uk are offering is GBP 2,275 LHR-HKG-SYD vv, which is extremely competitive in my experience (for one of the quality airlines).[/QUOTE]
