Hi everyone, I have an upcoming work trip to Japan from the eastern US in J and would appreciate opinions and recommendations on some of the options I’m considering:
1) CX connecting in HKG (3h layover) for a total travel time of ~23h.
2) Position to JFK on a separate ticket and change terminals to take JL for the transpacific leg for a total travel time of ~18-20h (is 2.5 h sufficient to switch terminals?).
Both transpacific flights would be on A350-1000s and I haven’t had a chance to fly either airlines before. (Though I’ll take a JL 787 on the return.) I’ll start working the day after arriving, so hope to maximize rest and appreciate airlines that can cater to food allergies.
I’d love any suggestions of opinions people may have.
