In relation to EK449 in F and onwards to London.
i have flown this route return 3 times so far this year - bizarrely it has been cheaper than NZ / SQ or NZ/UA in J.
I haven’t had a bad flight so far.
Ground service in Auckland has been solid but not amazing. Lounge is a J class lounge, but fine.
Experience on the plane has been awesome - food, service, booze and bed have been great. EK 449 on my flights has only been 1/2 full in F which I think has made it better. Showers amazing!! A bit of a gimmick, but still amazing!!
I have flown suites on SQ once and everything about Ek's soft service was equal or better than my single suites experience - although the suites as a hard product leaves EK for dead!!
