Going Boeing,
Fair call.
My point was that these days, IMHO the only stand-out airlines (in any class) are the bad ones; there are a couple of stand-outs the other way but by and large, you pays yer money and you gets the same thing no matter what's on the tail; the bean-counters have, over decades, standardised everything at a reasonably low level to keep the investors happy
.
Hence, these days I don't really care who the carrier is, I just try to knock myself out as soon after departure as possible and sleep as long as I can
.
That way, the service can be as bad as you like, but I won't know about it. Just wake me at TOD.
Mind you, it's worth waking up for the in-flight calisthenics session on China Eastern!
