Please help with route choice ORD-SIN in GF
Hi everyone,
I am considering the following two choices in Global First: 1/ ORD-NRT (B747), connecting to NRT-SIN (B777); 2/ ORD-HKG (B777), connecting to HKG-SIN (B777). Could you please help me rank these two options. Here are some of the factors I am considering: - seat comfort (B747 vs. B777), - reliability (particularly the segment on the B747), - availability of options for the second leg in case of missed connections. Thank you! |

I'd personally choose the HKG connection. UA's 747s are delay-prone and I personally prefer to go from a long haul to a short haul rather than long to medium.

Go with the HKG option. The same aircraft that operates ORD-HKG also operates HKG-SIN. You'll be covered in case of IRROPS.

I would go 777 all the way due to mx issues with the 747s. If you've never flown on a 747, maybe I'd consider it for that, but otherwise the 777 is my clear choice.

Can you do the ANA first class square ORD-NRT? Would definitely be a better experience than United GF. If not agree with others that you'd want a shorter second flight all things being equal.

Thanks to everyone for their opinions. I did book option 2 via HKG.

In Global First, the seats are identical, reliability should be fine, and you don't have to worry about connections. What would you rather fly, the front of the 777 or the bottom deck of the 747? I'd personally take option 1.
Again, thank you all! |
