International First Class Comparison
 

There's a really good comparison of carriers' various international first class services and seating on-line at http://www.globalprovince.com/firstclass.htm

Not bad but only about 50% accurate, and old/new info is mixed together with no indication. You'd be very disappointed if you based a buying decision on the info on this site (at least for the airlines that I have flown in the past 3 months, which are 3/4 of those listed).

Interesting that no mention of IFE or other electronic amenities is included. To the previous poster, what errors do you find?

What i noticed
 

NZ:
Seems correct, but NZ has one or two 747 where seats go flat. Still in 2-2 config in the nose of the 747. Otherwise i would agree

AA:
No mentioning of typically very mediocre (or less) service

Asiana:
Very bad IFE, seats not flat (they recline to 180 deg but have noticable bumps). Very dated look, run down feeling of the seats (at least in the planes i have been in)

BA:
No mention of the fairly small seats (14 where other airlines have 12).
No mention of sometimes grumpy, sometimes very nice crews (very inconsistent)

CX:
Seats are wider as on others like BA, QF

Japan:
Only experience with the older seats. Would agree

Korean:
No experience

Qantas:
Seats smaller (14 instead of 12 in the nose like BA). Layout different from BA (4 along the side instead of 5 = less privacy)

SQ:
This is only true for 747, not for F on 777 (old style 2-2-2 sub standard).

TG:
Disagree on food. Substandard compared to other asian airlines.

UA:
No mention of typically horrible service.


At least it is a good start. Why is not somebody on this board starting to collect all the information about the differen airlines and different plane types?
I would be glad to provide more information.
