Hi Everyone I am heading to the USA in late December after Christmas for work. I will be going business either on Qantas or Cathay.

I'd probs go with QF for the sake of experiencing the 787, although I guess if it weren't for that then I'd go with CX.

While the 789 is appealing, what about the return trip ? With QF you could end up on a 737 back to Perth, unfortunately even after you have booked on a scheduled A332.

Split the journey maybe? PER-MEL-LAX with QF to experience their B787 dreamliner product, then come back via HK with CX? That way you get to experience the B787 and A350 jets.

Recommend taking the QF 787 as it will have been Brand New vs Cathay's A350 which reports have it their first batch of deliveries have experienced some hard product failures - unless you get lucky and score one of their refurbished A350's. 1st world problems!

Just a thought - any reason Air New Zealand's not on your list?

Good choice, bit jealous i don't have any bookings for the QF B787 route in the near future. Enjoy and send us a trip report!

If I wanted to get to Los Angeles from Perth I would travel with Virgin Australia, via Brisbane, Sydney or Melbourne.
