which to choose?
 

hi guys http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

i'm going YYZ - SYD.

i have my choice of airlines to fly: AC, AA, CX, UA (goldpoints transfer to FF programs).

i'm wondering a couple things:
1. which would be the best? (in terms of service and access to lounges [for showers, alcohol, etc])
2. for UA, the difference between business class and first class is 20,000. is it worth it?

any help would be greatly appreciated http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I don't know about UA & CX (AA doesn't fly to SYD), your chances of getting AC J class is very slim if you don't have any status unless you book at least a couple of months ahead and are very flexible on your dates. Their SYD flight goes through HNL which makes it very hard to get J seats.

hey!

you can use AA and its partners to get to SYD. i had one with qantas and another with CX.

so AA is an option http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

You might want to post your question on the individual airlines' forum (UA,QF,CX...) to get their responses on their service and most importantly how hard it is to get award J seats.

When are you travelling?
