Comparing Business Classes (40 pts)

Obviously $50000 you can choose any airlines that you mentioned above. However you have to figure out the flight schedule because NZ and QS are different than CX,BA,VS. If the time is not a problem. Than just read the following

I traveled with British Airways to London ( Club World) 3 years ago, compare to now renovated new business class, there is no big difference. The seat still like 1 head to front 1 head to back( side seat) , actually during take off, taxi on the ground, and landing, it will be a little bit dizzy. However when you arrive in LHR, lots of benefits such as have a bath in the arrival lounge ( 3 years ago i didnt have this service) .But of course because BA is Britain airlines, i dont trust it. I am afraid those "guys" will .... the aircraft, although we are in HK, but if you really concern that problem, dont take this airlines
Cathay Pacific - If you take the specific time of flight operated by CX, can also enjoy the new renovated business class, and that design is same as Virgin , and New Zeland, it is not totally head toward or backward, instead is a little bit head to other side, for instance window seat will head liitle bit to right hand side. Based on this design, the privacy will have more, because of the angle, is hard to see other passengers that seat next to you. But i would say that in London the business class lounges Virgin is excellent, it is big, and the design is fancy. Inflight service, all the airlines offer flat seat, so no difference, however CX for instance if you travel to london, if you want the wonton, they will cook for you when you order ( during the meal time). In fligh kitchen , i would say that VS is kind of new, and always clean up, so it looks nice.
Lounges for business class passengers is offered by all of the airlines. Limosine service, you have to make sure which airlines does offer.
Brand Quality, of course CX is the best, the catering is suitable for chinese passengers.
But VS also not bad. Because now we dont know what time what flight does offer new seat by CX, so i suggest you if you want new seats or good environment, i would suggest you take VS. VS is good!
