Why not try SQ all the way? Might burn a hole in your pocket though..
Alternatively, you could try TG. Their refurbished 747-400s now serves the European routes and you can get the A346 from BKK-SYD. Flat beds all the way! However, they are famous for subbing equipments at the last minute so be prepared.
They have amazing service, a very comfortable product, great food and did I mention amazing service?
It's no call between them - CX head and shoulders above the rest.
Sorry ClassicLover, I have to disagree with you there - whilst I thought the service on CX was terrific, I absolutely HATED the herringbone layout. I felt like I was in a narrow coffin, and all I could see were dirty socks. I will not choose CX again until they replace this layout.
I much perfer BA's ClubWorld - seat 62A or 62K on a 744 if you can one of them are particularly private. Serivce is okay, but the food can be very disappointing (similarly, can be quite good). Still, for me, the better bed is worth having my cheese platter presented in Glad Wrap (as happened last time...)

I had no issue whatsoever with the layout. Why were you looking at dirty socks? You should have been watching the IFE, which is amazing by the way ... Also, the seat is incredibly comfortable and soft.

Pfft. Personally, I didn't like the up and down privacy screen. When it was down, having some stranger looking at you, and when it's up it's so high that you're cut off from everything.
Definitely CX ... J is not just a seat, it's the whole experience... CX isn't airline of the year for nothing, you know!
I choose to fly oneworld, as a member of Qantas Frequent Flyer.
