Where are you flying to/from? Mostly from Sydney to various points in China, but also to mainland europe. Have flown both airlines maybe 10 times long haul. The worst experiences where from Europe to China, but nothing terrible, just annoying. Traveling mostly Singapore Air can warp your perspective.
