Ive got a trip coming up that includes both NCW and new J-class at CX (on a 340-600 none the less), which one should i look forward to most?

(Oh, and can anyone find out if LHR-DXB and back on the 15th/16th of feb is in NCW?)

Curious. Mais chacun à son goût, as they say.

I'm a big fan of BA's backward facing, window seat. I find it offers excellent privacy and combined with the horizontal seat it allows me a decent sleep.

I've only flown CX's new J once and that (surprisingly, because normally the flight is an airbus) was on a 747 from ICN-&gt;HKG. I was impressed with the IFE, which was magnificent compared to the antiquarian thing that BA provides in J (and even in F for that matter IMHO), however I was disillusioned with the seat itself...preferring the privacy that the BA seat affords.

Has been NCW for about a year. If you realyl want to check, go to www.ba.com, check the flights and if they offer World Traveller Plus then you are O.K. I think the only long hauls from LHR that don't have NCW are the British Med franchise flights and anything on a 767.

Why is it so expensive to fly CNX to HKT the first week of January??

Summer holidays in Australia. Everyone in Australia is on the move. Its peak period for flights out of Oz.

How is this question oneworld-related? The roundtrip fares in early January appear to be the same as in February and March.

Thanks. HKT and BKK are gateways for the direct Australian flights into Thailand :)

AY flies HKG-BKK?

Used to, but I think not anymore.

No, but RJ does, with more mileage-earning buckets for AA members.
