In early 2026, there are options of getting to BOG on either Qantas A380 or AA 787-9 (via US). I may even potentially be able to afford business if paying cash.

Any recommendations about which I aircraft I should choose, in Y and/or J?

For economy I’d go Qantas… they feed you well and plenty to keep you entertained.

For business… either I guess. AA’s is herringbone, on Qantas you have some window seats hard up against the window, others are on the aisle. Great if you can get a seat against the window.

I think the advantage of AA is that you bags can be transferred for INT-INT connections, you no longer need to collect them and re-check.

Thank you!

I appreciate the tip re: AA and collect/re-checking bags. Sounds like something I need to look out for if booking on a QF flight.
