Hi all,
I am looking into the possibility of visiting a friend of mine in Shanghai/Taiwan in early January. My current flight options consist of either American from JFK-LAX-PVG-TPE(CX)-NRT-JFK for $985 or Turkish from JFK-IST-PVG-IST-JFK (+China Easter PVG-TPE-PVG for $292) for $1019. I have flown American domestically multiple times and am a OneWorld member with 5,986 miles however I have not had the chance to experience their long-haul offerings in Y on the 777. If I fly American, #1 they are the cheaper option by $94, #2 I get to try both China Eastern (346) and Cathay Pacific (333), and #3 I accumulate close to 16,000 miles, which puts me close to Gold status.
My question is has anyone experienced Y on the American 777 and would recommend it for a 10+ flight? I'm not a big fan of their domestic product but they are the most convenient and cheapest option most times between DCA and JFK.
I have flown Turkish domestically and loved my flight and have heard great things about their new product aboard the 777-300ER, which would operate all four legs of my trip and I would gain miles with United. The one downfall of Turkish is an 8hr layover in Istanbul, where I will find myself again in March for a longer stay (via KL/AF).
Suggestions? Thanks!
