Hello Digital01, thank you all they could offer us then and there was a seat saved in business class, the hope that someone wouldn't turn up in first (but it was full and everyone turned up) and the customer services number for compensation. Not ideal but I suppose it wasn't their fault at check in and there weren't many options. I'll let you know what compensation my dad gets if he ever gets round to it...!

This was a very enjoyable read - excellent balance of narrative and photos.
I especially liked that your own honest reactions formed the base of the report - too many trip report writers seem to adopt a "writer's voice" that dulls their observations and ends up with a distanced result. You really brought us readers into the A380 cabin - well done! ^

Thanks for posting your great TR! And, double-thank you for posting it all at once!
I have an upcoming VS J TATL flight; but, I haven't yet flown BA (in any cabin). Trying out BA may have to move up my to-do list!
My wife and I drove CA's Highway 1 from LAX to SFO over 4 days to start 2015 and we had very good weather (a bit chilly; but, almost always sunny) - sounds like you had a beautiful drive too! ^

Wow what a fantastic trip report! Thank you very much for posting I really enjoyed the read and I am looking forward to my LHR-SFO F flight on the A380 even more.
I am a bit worried I've opted for 2K though, hopefully that particular seat isn't any more temperamental than the others.... still might switch to the A side just in case!
