Default I get a bus'n class flight

Never flown anything but cattle class but I get a business class flight next month east out of Van, could be to Tokyo, Hong Kong or Seoul.
Dates are fairly open too so I will decide based on the perks of the airline.
Looking at the A380 or 777, or 787.
Any opinions ?

I do the Vancouver to Australia flight, tonight will be the 78th flight. I prefer the pod on the 777 to the pod on the 787 but I'm in the minority. Most of the guys I've spoken to like the Dreamliner more. Never done the a380 thing but I've been told it's awesome, second level (upstairs) is supposedly all business class. Try and fly emirates if it's an option... and my money says your flying west out of yvr.

I use to do two round trips a month to the Middle East. Undoubtedly Emirates was my favorite, especially First Class. You can't go wrong with Cathay Pacific or Singapore Airlines either.

The 380 was awesome!!

I steered away from Air Canada. They just haven't caught up to the rest of the pack yet.

Few weeks ago flew ANA (Japanese airline) from Tokyo to Ho-chi Min city, and then back from Tokyo to Vancouver, had superb service on their Dreamliner, great food and you still get the real fork and knife not the plastic crap.

Also, which ever airline you choose, get a membership in their airmiles reward program. Points will add up quickly especially if you are on rotation and flying First or Business/First Class fare.
