Having difficulty deciding between LAN or QF to Santiago. Have to fly in 3 weeks. Have never flown in any other J class but QF, pretty much on all international configurations MK1, MK2 on A380 and 747.
Options are:
QF- MEL-SYD-SCL. (747 New Config) Dept 730 am Arr 9:50am
EK MEL-AKL (A380) & LA AKL-SCL (A340) Dep 7:10am Arrive 11:30 am
I have a connecting flight at 1:30pm to LSC. I wouldn't want to miss this as next flight is at 7PM.
Have experienced QF first lounges and with early start not an important factor for me.
I figured waiting out 3 hours in AKL lounge not so bad. But having a short domestic and continuous Intflight is appealing too.
Im 6'4 and comfort is my most important issue. Both products look good but LA apparently has a 73" pitch to QF 80" pitch? (BTW Weird thing is QF dont do turndown service to SCL and I do find the QF seats a bit uncomfortable)
Other consideration is my Airline geek side would love to try and report on different J products and I REALLY want to try EK J.
Status/point accrual not relavant to this post or important to my decision. (Thats a quandary requiring a whole other post)
Has anyone flown both LA J and QF J that can give me a comparison? Any feedback appreciated.
