Qatar, Emirates, Singapore Airlines to Europe??
OK, now you can all see that I am obsessing about this flight to Paris!!
But I have a new question: do any of these very good airlines above noted, fly from New York to Paris?
We once flew Singapore Airlines to Amsterdam, but clearly the flight was bound further, and Amsterdam was just a stop off. I'm thinking maybe one of these might have the same sort of flight, one leg of which might be New York - Paris.

Do not think you will find something workable
with those carriers... no nonstop RT I know of that would work
AF best direct or perhaps
try Continental.com EWR PAR my wife and I this past
year got an instant 60000 miles by getting their OnePass CCs
did an upgrade with the FF miles from coach it was super
cheap.... might try to do something like that.
RT non stop for that distance flight would be my #1 priority.

Only Singapore flies between the US and Europe, with one flight between JFK and FRA. Jet Airways, which has a good reputation, flies between New York (Newark, I think) and Brussels.
Frankly, I don't find much difference between the carriers, when it comes to coach. I have flown Qatar and Singapore in the last year or so, and, while nice, they didn't blow me away enough to sound more than an extra $20 or so. I mean, there simply isn't that much you can do to make coach much better.
When it comes to business class, I would choose the new Singapore business class over a lot of other options, but not the older business class. I've heard good things about Qatar's business class food, but the seating seems average. I've flown Emirates in business class and was underwhelmed.

rkkwan: I think I might be losing my mind, or I deleted something by mistake, but didn't you tell me which flights were the best to book on AF to Paris, to be sure to get PE seats?
Your logic was good and I remember you even telling me that I could find the right "coding" when I went to the AF site.
I can't find that message now, and I hate to ask, but could you tell me once again, which are the best flights to book on AF to get on the right equipment to be sure of PE? I will be eternally grateful, and annoyed at myself.

Boy are you FAST. I just found it myself. I was only looking in my more recent threads. Thanks again. I'm just glad you didn't have to type it all out again. Then I really would have felt guilty.
