What would you do? (PE vs Mixed J/Y)

[airlinemn]

JFK to SYD in PE or JFK to LAX in Y (with a stopover at DFW) and then LAX to SYD in J.

All flights are on points.

I will keep monitoring JFK to SYD for a business seat as QF normally release a few the days or weeks before.

Thanks for the help!

Personally I'd go Y/J especially if had lounge access at DFW.

Option 1.

But I wouldn’t be upset with Option 2 if it fell that way.

 

[RichardMEL]

Transpac in J for sure. Specially long overnight.

 

[snabbu]

No brainer, J transpac every time.

 

[oz_boater]

Overnight in J absolutely

The diff between PE and economy is trivial on domestic American - esp if you have status and can pick a nice seat on the us legs anyway

 

[zahra01]

LAX to SYDNEY in J

 

[cjd600]

J on the long leg for sure. No doubt.

 

[MEL_Traveller]

Absolutely J on the trans pacific! PE is the equivalent of domestic business class. Ok for a few hours… but you’d be exhausted after 20!

I have a similar dilemma. Currently booked in QF PE, but can book AA J from LAX to SYD.

Any word on if it's worth it?

Lie flat = yes

Absolutely! AA’s food in business class will be equivalent to QF PE. But what else matters aside from a full flat bed??

thanks everyone. have updated my booking to AA J class now!

How is the Flagship business lounge vs the OW lounge in LAX? Guessing there is time to do both anyway

I actually think flagship lounges are a marked step up from business class lounges! Free flowing champagne for starters, and usually a pretty good buffet of both hot and cold dishes. Far more extensive than the usual J class lounge offerings.

Agreed. I don’t bother with the OW J Lounge at LAX and just go straight to the flagship lounge.

Got seats in Row 4 (mini cabin AA 777). Is that too close to the galley in peoples prior experiences?

Row 6 and 12 are available as well in the larger cabin

Perfect seats! Very quiet mini cabin, almost identical to Cathay’s set-up on their 777, where the mini cabin is considered the bast place in business class.

The main cabin is… well… large! You’ll have a lot more foot traffic past you to the WCs and crew going back and forth to the galley. Row 12 is too close to the engines, which on a 777 are noticeably loud.

Thanks for the tip re flagship lounge at LAX. Didn't realise there was one and will save the walk to TBIT
