The worst I flown is Qantas 🦘Always late, but not as bad as Cebu Pacific 

The best is Malaysian Airlines🇲🇾 from Sydney to KL then Bangkok,but nowadays I only fly business class 

I want to try SCOOT Business class on my next trip to Kuala Lumpur 

As you have no money, it is sensible to fly business class!

 Recently, I have flown China Eastern which has the advantage of being much cheaper than everybody else, but the Shanghai transfer is always pretty shit. 

 

before Covid it was my most used airline to get to Bangkok  due to lowest prices and not bad service although  I agree  , transfer at least on return was quite crappy.

 

How it is now I don't know as they raised their  prices and I don't  look at them any more for that reason

I've seen a certain other airline (better not name it) described as "like Ryanair, but without the irish charm".

We proletarians from the last row of economy  are happy with getting to our destination  fed something digestible on the way.

Have you flown long haul business class ?

I can afford up front.  But I'm fit and limber so all that money I save by sitting cattle class goes to arriving a day early at a 5* hotel, relaxing massage, great dining and sleeping  off my jetlag.

Plus I've got a bunch of extra cash left over for many a boy! 

It's amazing what a few hours of a tiny bit of discomfort can buy!

Unlike my fellow responders, I fly from the west coast of Canada's southern neighbor.  Once upon a time this was a direct route (translation: one stop same plane).  Recently, my routing was San Francisco to Tokyo with a 5 hour layover and plane change to ANA or Thai to bring me in at 10PM or later.  EVA reverses this with a midnight flight from SF, plane change and multiple hour layover in Taipei and arrival in late morning.  These two flight plans arrived in less than 24 hours.  Others were available but longer in the plane or transfer airport.  

United announced that in October it will be adding a route via Hong Kong with only a brief stop for a plane change. Flight from San Francisco will offer a link to Vietnam.  

I'm with TOTheCore on keeping my devaluating dollars for my Thailand activities.  I've done the EVA business class (where the wine kept flowing) but couldn't balance the $200+ / per hour additional cost.
