A different (first-class) carrier back
 
I was surprised at people's answers, when I asked them. I wonder if the FT community is different.
I booked a reward flight on OneWorld. I am flying first in CX, and on the way back chose to change it to JL. I just wanted to try them out. I know CX first is widely reputed to be one of the best. JL doesn't have that reputation. But I wanted to try something different.
Is that the same for most people here? My friends I surveyed would prefer to fly CX first both ways. Why would you settle for something inferior?
For me the answer is that something different is always better.

Sounds like a real first world problem. In all seriousness, why not mix it up?

I figure if you're happy with it, who cares what anyone else thinks. It's your money/miles being spent, not theirs!:cool:

Amen to that. And if the OP is planning on more flights in the future, it's a good idea to see which airline he likes more.

Mix it up I say. Why not? This is one of the reasons I don't belong to a frequent flyer program. I want to experience lots of airline.

So you are wasting all those beautiful FF miles you could be accruing? :eek: I have a fiduciary duty to tell you to join immediately!

Check out the trip report section for the new report on JL F.

You may or may not think they are are good as CX, but I think you will have a great flight.

I would definitely prefer to fly two airlines, unless I knew one was much worse.

I've flown JL F once and CX F four times. CX F might be the best going, but JL F is really good. The Salon champagne is definitely better than Krug, and if you're into tea, definitely have some of the Royal Blue tea if you can.

(Deleted- somehow ended up on the wrong thread) but to add to the discussion while I'm here, I'd mix it up for the new experience

Who's more attractive, Megan Fox or Scarlett Johannsen?

Yep I am wasting them. Also, I didn't say another reason I don't "do" miles is because I'm too lazy and stupid!! :D

Megan Fox!

...but you'd be happy with Scarlet as well, right? ;)
