As the title says.. I'm generally a *A traveller.... so I thought I'd seek some advice...

Likely trip in the future involving returning to Oz from SIN - in C - I have the choice of a QF 747.. or a BA 777..

Recommendations anyone?

Sleeping?

Choice betwixt a narrow horizontal flat bed and a broader nearly horizontal flat bed.

Staying Awake?

The TV on the BA 777 is much smaller than that of the Skybeds (think QF dreamtime)

WOW! That was quick... thanks! I actually wandered off and had a look at Seat Guru (Should have done that first I know! but there is nothing like personal recommendations!) ...

I AM a fan of a totally FLAT bed (main experience there with NZ and AC.. ) Anyone able to compare those with BA's??????

NOT a big IFE user though... more of a book type... So at this stage I would have to be leaning toward the BA flight methinks.....(and embarrasing as it is to admit in this forum.. I haven't ever actually flown on BA metal... might have to attach some small value to collecting a "new airline"... talking myself into it I think!!)

Thanks again...

Are you planning to accrue FF points to a program? If AA then BA does not accrue a status bonus (maybe not an issue if you an infrequent OW flier you probably don't have status).

I find the BA staff to be more consistent and their casual attitude more aligned to my expectations. I always feel when I board a QF aircraft a little apprehensive - just waiting to see if I have one of the QF ogres - not something I worry about when boarding BA.

Having done both flights in J a couple of times i would actually pick QF, but thats a personal preference due to the fact i sleep better on the skybed, but other would say the reverse.
Both are good for service.... Give me BA bacon rolls for breakfast !

BACON ROLLS!!!! Why didnja say so! Decision made!

Thanks again gents... I'd credit this to my almost-defunct QF (NB) account... may come in handy... better than NOT crediting them somewhere....

Still don't know if it is "on".... We'll see.....

[Evan]

Well they had bacon roles on the BA flights i have been on in J from SIN-SYD (domestic to MEL) anyway
But on QF i got a breakfast.... but sometimes you just want the un-healthy option although it was rather lean bacon.

Was the night flight...

I would choose QF.

BA's 777's feel liek a dorm in J. It is a rather large cabing with 2-4-2 seating. you will also have the older business product as only 1 x 777 has it installed currently.

Catering is better on QF also.

That's a matter of opinion - I avoid QF in J now if I can to avoid the catering.
