PeterLONParticipantHi, I’m looking to surprise my wife for her 2 yearly return trip to see her family in Aus. Following the helpful links people have posted it looks like NF is 100% on BA15 & 16 via SIN. However this is currently a B777 and from looking on BA’s booking website changes to a B747 from March 2012.
Does anybody know if this will change the likelihood of getting NF? I am weighing up BA against Etihad (bus rather than first) and this will help me to decide. Many thanks in advance.

VintageKrugParticipantBy then you stand a very strong chance of getting new F; but nothing’s yet guaranteed, and if your trip will be ruined by not getting the new cabin, you’d better explore alternatives.
I would strongly recommend the QF A380 F, it’s spiffing:

Do watch out for lengthy layovers with Etihad.

RecordmanParticipantIf you are accompanying your wife, the QF380 F seats are not best suited for couples travelling together. You are better off in 1A or 1K in a BA 747 or 4/5 EF. Doesn’t matter if old F, in flight service on BA is much better than QF. QF cabin crew are told to sit down even in slightest turbulence hindering the serving of life’s bottled necessities!

Gold-2KParticipantIf I could not guarantee NF (and BTW i def prefer it on the 777 to 747) I would go with Qantas A380. Fantastic aircraft, cabin and service …… Arrived with no jet lag! Coming back on a BA747 old first felt like something from the age of the Wright Brothers by comparison ….. IMHO.
