Help choosing best J class flights for *A RTW ticket

[brha01]

Hi all

Have just found out that my employer is sending me on a RTW odyssey to attend a number of different events and meet with clients. I have never flown J class internationally before so would appreciate your help in choosing the best J class for the long haul flights. It looks like it will be a *A J Class RTW ticket at this stage, mostly because there will be a bit of internal flying in Canada which will need to be on AC.

For the following flights, which airline should I be choosing to get the best J class?? Seat comfort/the ability to sleep is going to be fairly important to me.

SYD to LHR or ZRH- TG via BKK or OZ via ICN (would have loved SQ but they charge a hefty surcharge on the RTW ticket price)
ZRH or LHR to IAD- LX or UA
YVR to SYD- NZ via AKL, UA via SFO or AC direct

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Particularly things like if there are any aircraft types to avoid for particular airlines etc

I can only suggest taking NZ rather than UA when you can.

We've been attempting to rank *A airlines in order over of how much we would like to fly J on them in the USDM thread.

The general consensus or your airlines seems to be:

LX
OZ
NZ
TG
AC
UA

I'd put AC above TG.. but then a flat bed is the most important thing to me!!

Caution too... OZ only belongs in 2 if it is Quadra Smartium...
