Asiana Business vs Air China Business
My wife and I have the option of flying either Asiana A380 business class overnight or a Air China 777-300 business class overnight. Curious what most people would suggest is better? I will have already flown the Asiana A380 once but I always like to try new products IF they are worth it. Would Air China be a total downgrade in terms of comfort and service?

You must be joking...
CA has 2-2-2 config and the same seats pmCO (still) has.
OZ seats are so MUCH better.
If you have young F/A's CA can offer good service. But you may end up with F/A's who remember Ilushin IL62 days and service would then be mediocre.
Yes - you will survive a CA flight (and you MIGHT get fairly acceptable service) but you cannot compare these 2 airlines.

I'm trying really hard to think of something - anything - where CA is better than than OZ and I'm coming up with a blank.
Maybe it depends on your route and/or price. But even then, I'm not certain I'd take CA unless there was a very substantial advantage to doing so.

I've flown CA on 2 round trips and both times I saw horrible service, long delays and unruly, loud and very messy passengers. Granted, those flights were all in Y, but the difference to even UA Y, let alone SQ, NH, OZ, etc. was so stark that I've made a point never to fly them again if I have any other option.
