Rome vs Milan vs Paris

[tonylim]

I am planning a holiday trip to Italy and France. I am considering the following options of redeeming my miles:

1. Sin-Rome (Biz 60K one-way), Boeing 777-200
- Departing (Sun, Tue, Fri) 01:10 to 07:50
- Returning (Fri, Sun, Tue) 12:00 to 06:00

2. Sin-Rome (First 80K one-way), Boeing 777-200

3. Sin-Milan (Biz 80K one-way), Boeing 777-300ER
- Departing (everyday, except Wednesday, Friday) 02:05 to 08:45
- Returning (Everyday, except Friday) 12:00 to 06:00

4. Sin-Paris (Biz 80K one-way), A380-800
- Departing (everyday) 23:55 to 07:20
- Returning (everyday) 12:00 to 06:40

Considering, if I am willing to spend 80K, is First class 777-200 better than A380? Or should I save the 20K taking Biz (80K for two person two-way)? Airport tax and surcharge for the 3 airport?

Flight time is almost the same. Considering late checkout from hotel, will probably at airport for quite a while. So, lounge and airport shopping is one of consideration (travelling with wife).

There is no first on the 777-200. If you are redeeming for 2 pax, your decisions will unfortunately be driven by seat availability rather than preference. Play around with your dates on the KF online booking engine.

Personally the 773ER and 380 have better seats than the 772s. The F experience on the 380 will be unique. If you have to checkout early, just leave your luggage at the hotel while you enjoy the city. There's not much to do at the airport.
