Dragon Air vs Thai in Business class HKT-HKG
Hello All,
Sorry, I've not been able to locate any recent reviews except for one on skytrax from 2012 and other threads here from 2011.
We're looking to fly HKT-HKG either on KA213 (looks to be an A321) or TG608 (looks to be an A330) scheduled. Either choice would be in business class. Not a long flight 3.5 hr perhaps. Both are daytime flights. Both look to be recliner style, no idea on the age on either. I've overnighting in HKG, and the KA gets in slightly early so there's more time to go to town, have dinner and drinks, sleep.
We've never flown KA, no idea how any catering or service stacks up on this short run?
Any recommendations for one over the other?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the suggestion. I enjoy TG but obviously I am completely clueless as to KA.
I even considered routing through BBK to pick up the TG606 flight with F on their 747 for the 2:45hr trek but I really don't want to spend more time in transit. We've enjoyed the FCL and spa at BKK before, the nonstop is just easier.

Thanks again. That's what it looks like. The pics found online almost look like something from two decades ago. I wasn't even sure if they were real or archive stuff. Not knocking it if it was comfortable, but its a strange look. Something out of a 70's family room.
