Tokyo to Manila in Business
Has anyone any advice on how nice it is to fly in J to Manila from Tokyo in JAL vs CX metal? I am booked on CX going to MNL from JFK, on CX 777s, first to HKG, then to MNL. I was looking at the web, also the Cathay forum here, and it seems lot of people don't think the CX J product (regionally) is very good. I was considering skipping CX and going on JAL instead. F and J miles redemption. Thanks for any feedback. Cheers.

HKG-MNL is a very short flight....you will get a full CX J service though.

Thx. I had a similar post on the CX forum. I will try to go home via TYO so I can try both. On the itinerary it says 2h 40m, so I started getting uncomfortable considering I'd have been sitting for so long (drive to JFK, waiting, 16 hr flight, waiting in lounge 2 hrs, then 2h 40 m).

Ya. I'm on 841 right now and am sure I'll be a zombie by the time I land on that J seat.... Couldn't get the 350 done, but am sure this'll suffice. Thanks all!

The thread has been closed since the OP started a similar thread in the CX forum.
