I'll go to Helsinki from KIX in this Aug-Sep. Yes, I will try AA Challenge to Pt

I am wondering which air line I should use, AY or CX.
I guess I will book economy class. And If you had used both, I'd like to ask you which one was better?
And... I will go to Britain in next March. Yeah, it might also be booked an economy class. I'd like to ask you again, which was better, BA or CX?
I'd like to know especially about seat. For me, the worst was North West:-(
I haven't flown Y on either of these carriers but I have wandered through the cabins to stretch my legs a bit during a flight. For me it would be no contest, CX would seem to be a much better option than AY, the cabin did not appear as cramped on the CX aircraft and the seat and entertainment was just much better (no seat back screen on AY for instance). Given the quality of the business class food on AY I would also strongly suspect that CX would offer better catering. I think a quick look at the seating plans (found in the timetable on the AY site) will tell you all you need to know.
