New OZ F (NRT-ICN-LAX) Over UA F (NRT-LAX)?
I recently learned that OZ is using its newly configured 747 with all new F suites 6 days a week and I have the option of flying OZ F NRT-ICN-LAX or flying UA F direct from NRT-LAX.
The thing with OZ is that it leaves NRT at 9AM with a 5 hour layover in ICN where as UA leave NRT at 5:30pm so I will have an additional 8 hours to spend in Japan. Is it worth the hassle and long layover to fly new OZ F?
(And no, NH F or SQ F isn't an option)

OZ F in the new aircraft will be miles, and miles, and miles, ahead of UA. In every aspect. I would definitely do it.
PS. Is there no flight that is later with a shorter layover at ICN, or is it full? 5 hours is a bit long at ICN - roughly 2 hours would be more than enough, unless you're crazy into duty-free shopping.

Even those don't have much of an advantage over time.
