Suggestion: BA F or CX J?
Need to fly HKG to the UK in May.
I can choose between flying CX in business class for 90.000 avios or BA in first class for 100.000 - minor difference.
BA will be more "usable" to me for these reasons:
- Better scheduled departure/arrival
- Possibility of using F lounges in HKG (I won't be Gold anymore by then, dropping to Silver)
- Flies into London rather than Manchester (CX)
I've never flown either product (normally fly QR) so I'd like to ask a suggestion.
Would you book BA F or "go out of the way" (which involves changing the time of a meeting plus a less convenient departure time) to fly CX J?
Thank you!

Personally I find the service a lot more personal and a the LPGS is always a nice bonus, If you have never flown it before, let them know that and they usually make it extra special, Did for us.
You did well getting F space on the HKG route!

BA F
CX J is okay, good seat, good IFE, however, I find the food bland and wines uninspired. Strong J product but not a touch on BA F. For better lounges, better seat, more attentive service and ability to select meals on the outbound it is an easy choice.
