Redemption Quandary
 
I have a choice to redeem AS miles for 2 F tickets LAX-MEL/SYD-LAX both on the QF A380 or YYZ - HKG F on a CX 777. I have been to all destination before but strickly on the flight experience what are the opinions?

I'd definitely have to go with CX. good service, good food, great space, etc etc. However i do wish you luck in getting not one, but TWO award tickets for YYZ-HKG. CX has not been known to be the most generous when providing award seat availability. But then again, maybe luck is on your side... :-: (lucky star for you :))

I flew CX yyz-hkg in early Nov. 08 in F. I was very excited based on everything I have read on FT. It was not a bad experience but it sure didn't come close to meeting my expectations. I also must agree with the prior poster F in the 380!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually I tried the QF A380 F Class and to be honest, if you think CX's service is not up to scratch, you better stay away from QF. Maybe I had a bad crew. Also do note there are 14 pax vs 6 pax on CX.
The seat is nice, but the CX seat is nicer and wider.
The A380 is overhyped IMO - I am always a 747 person!:D

Thanks for the advice. We are going with CX. Got two tickets booked YYZ-HKG-ICN-HKG-YYZ. ICN will be a new stop so will give the new CX F a try (at least as far as HKG).
