Although CX F long haul may have slipped a bit, IMHO it's nothing to complain about! (I do ORD-HKG-ORD nonstops in CX F every tear in January or February)
I've done many wacky routings through the years... but I now have a rule: When heading home, head home! Just take the CX F nonstop flight home and be happy!

Having this same debate right now and really stuck on which to go with. Hoping to bump this thread up and maybe get some new convo going on it for a 2022 trip. I know there are some uncertainties with CX coming out of the pandemic where QR seems back to normal.
I get the basics on the CX F Vs. QR Q Suites debate:
CX has the best & widest bed in the skies\
CX has more consistent service and maybe goes out of their way more for you
QR has an extensive food menu with some really interesting options.
QR has the far better IFE
Pier F & Wing F Vs., AM & AS (I'd pay the $180 for AS). Not sure I'd want to make the decision on the lounges.
Huge food person but wine & bubbles not nearly as important for me
Travelling alone so middle seats double bed of no value.
Love to do EK F but NOT an option........using AA miles
Just be curious in general now 3 years later where people see the CX F Vs. QR Q Suites debate...

I am a big fan of QR suites, but I would take CX F any day over QR suites. Of course, the price is higher too.
But if I was to make a booking for the coming 12 months, I would not hesitate to prefer QR. They are flying an extensive network, while CX is severely constrained by HK crew quarantine policy. Very few flights and unreliable schedule.
When/if CX F restarts, we have no idea of the quality of service; CX has not flown F for a very long time.

Fwiw the cost would be the same.. 110K AA miles..
Sin-Hkg-Lax as 1 booking or Sin-Doh-Lax for 40K & 70K 2 bookings
