As I said: there is no A inventory. If it shows A, it is wrong. Probably a glitch because not all systems are fully adapted. QF, AA and BA all told me that QF A380 is all R and nothing but R. I would love to be wrong.
I believe all airlines will assign the first class on their A380 as R. Given the popularity of the plane, who can blame them?
Actually, the tariff for the A380 in R is higher than the same route on an 747 (about $2500) so that sort of tells you, doesnt it? Resistence is futile...
With an aircraft change the same happens as with SQ: nothing.
And no, its not fair.
