In his defence I would posit a miles redeemer with plenty of miles across different programs, plenty of flexibility and a willingness to experience different products will have more varied F experiences than a lot of people who's (work) is paying for it and/or is home city/airline centric.

Sadly I lack his flexibility.

Yes, but if the experience is limited to a sample size of one, it's not very representative.

My long haul F experience is exclusively with CX thanks to multiple upgrades as my employers do not pay for it. So I am always curious to know how it stacks up against other airlines. My hunch is the hard product compares pretty well as I have yet to see another airline with a 1-1-1 layout in a 777. As for the soft product I have averaged 3-5 F long hauls a year and have not had a bad experience yet. However I have never asked for a 2nd set of pyjamas...

OP..

i have several spare pairs of CX and pretty much other airline pajamas...i can send a spare set over :))

hopefully that will end this thread :))

I'll send you some LH PJ's too if OP would like. :D

For SQ 12 SIN-LAX, SQ gives you two pajamas, one for the SIN-NRT leg and the other for NRT-LAX. However, given the difference of quality between the SQ and CX pajamas, I'd take one CX pair over two SQ ones any day!

ditto, the PYE PJs are arguably the best quality you can get of all the airlines.

Agree on that. I actually went back to visit the store at the Landmark to claim the free gift and get more shirts from PYE.

Unfortunately you've picked the wrong forum to post as there are many defenders of the CX faith here despite they all know the CX F/J product is going down the drains quickly. The PYE PJs are heavily sponsored by PYE as a marketing tool and CX doesnt pay much for it. If CX has to foot the bill, I think you will get PJs made out of newspaper.

Just look at EK. You get a inflight amenity bag, PJs plus an unlimited supply of toiletries and real towels in the bathroom despite they are already included in the amenity bag. On CX, everything is rationed, such as DM-only burgers, precious bottles of Evian whereas on EK you have a whole minibar of the much more expensive Voss water to yourself. Same goes for JL, QR and SQ.

The mentality of management of CX and some members here is to compare with the worst, not with the best, since CX is probably a B- student, it feels better to compare with a D/E/F grade student vs the A+s.

If B- is getting 1-1-1 and A+ IS GETTING 1-2-1 on the same aircraft

I am all for B-!

Sorry but what ARE you talking about? DM only burgers? Evian v Voss water (really!).

EK is a very good airline indeed, unless you get stuck on one of their slopey seated aircraft, or you forget your sunglasses.

He probably meant the J burgers.

Thanks cxfan1960 - I was wondering where can I get a DM-only burger. I got no burger when flying to MXP in J but did when flying to CDG in F. That explains it.

In just about every thread talking about premium products on just about every FT forum, there will be people who will defend the product no matter what, people who will berate the product no matter what and people who feel the need to constantly refer to one or more of the ME3s.

All 3 constituencies are all just as predictable as each other and, to me, all very tiring.

wait OP came from USA? did he *discreetly* slip in a tip for an extra set of PJs? I'd thought the tip may easily change things - even if he wanted to take home a few bottles of Krug.
