BKK-SYD in J MH or VN?
My wife and I will be in BKK on vacation and want to spend a few days in SYD as well. Right now MH has BKK-SYD in J for $1000 USD or VN for 1250 USD in J. I'm a DL Diamond and while the miles would be nice to get the miles from the VN flight, i'm not sure it is worth the extra $500.00 for the both of us.
Anyone have some advice on which carrier to use? Obviously, better seats, food and drinks would sway me.
Thanks!

I was looking forward to trying the new seat on the overnight KUL-SYD flight but the aircraft was subbed out at the last minute without notice so something to keep in mind until all the A330 fleet are refitted later this year.

I would definitely go with MH. Even if you don't get the new J, it is still lightyears better than the J seats on the VN 777. That being said, I did really like the food and service on VN.
Still, MH is the only way to go and they are cheaper.
