A quick guide to oneworld long haul first class products
This thread is a continuation of the series of quick comparison guides that focus on the product options we currently have when redeeming our Avios. This thread covers the much coveted First Class products. You will find some stats which will allow you to compare the physical dimensions of each suite, cabin configurations plus info on wifi and other connectivity related odds and sods. The large encircled numeral is a simple indicator of the number of aircraft of each configuration fitted with First Class suites. As you can see these numbers are very small. What this primer cannot and does not tell you are the all important service nuances which vary substantially from one carrier to the next, so any crowd sourcing will be most welcome.
Here are the contents, listed by airline in alphabetical order:

What is the RCA listed under BA for connectivity? If you mean the yellow analog video input, then both JL and AA have those inputs, and not all BA planes have them (I couldn't tell you which ones do or don't, unfortunately).

A minor point if you ask me. Unlimited WiFi on JAL can be had with a subscription that costs less than 6 GBP per month (and which yields unlimited free WiFi on JAL, AA, UA, LH, ...) and which works for all travel classes.
