Following. Didn't know this was an issue. Flying BA biz to Heathrow myself in a couple of months.


It's not an issue. There was a meltdown back in like 2022 or something so I think this was a post just to let everyone know OP is flying business class?


Yes, that was how I read this message too.


And if OP is flying their ancient A380 business class, this is even less of a flex than they think it is.


Just did that trip on BA last week with checked bags and no issues. We also did business class but it really wasn't much of a flex because the upgrade was offered for $400. Travel must be down to offer an upgrade at that price.

It was a new business class - the pods even had doors that slid across. I think it was an A350.


Yeah most of their fleet now has the new business class seats, but the A380s still have the ancient 2-4-2 back to front design. They are supposed to be retrofitted next year. Most days they fly the A380 on the late night IAD-LHR departure.
