Being a regular commuter between lhr-jfk I hope this is not BS .
Having to put up with knackered 30 yr old plus 747-400 is no joke anymore If the webbing in seats is not broken or knackered you are lucky and the toilets seats usually have lovely grey duct tapekeeping them together .the plastic overheads are usually a lovely shade of yellow .I know these great old planes owe BA NOTHING, but come on ,BA were the kings of transatlantic service and quality .despite numerous letters without reply I hope one day soon I can be proud of the Airline again

We learned never never to fly BA. Rude airline, especially the captain that hit every bump between PHX and London. Never changed altitude, just kept going. When we got into the bus to take us back to the terminal, the captain got on and my wife give him a look that sent him off the bus!
To Ric:
Having flown multiple long haul flights from NZ to Europe on A380, A340, B747, B777 and B787, my experience is that even the A340 is far superior in comfort and inside noise level to the B777 and B787. The B747 was very comfortable (but no entertainement). I suggest your relative fly back in a 787 or 777 and then ask her again about the comfort. Her 'bad' experience seems to be 100% focused on issues with LHR rather than the plane.

100% agree with you Peer
I disagree strongly and so does everyone else I know that flies long distance regularly
380 far more comfortable in any class than any Boeing product

I'm happy that Emirates did what they did. And I hope the 747-8 stays the course too! Both are awesome machines.
