Indeed.
I switched my longhaul flights to BA for three reasons:
1. Flatbed seats
2. Better schedule and more flights
3. KL introduced the 777 om my most frequent route, whereas BA uses 744s
I don't mind the extra shorthaul (BA has a pretty decent J product), or the layover. I don't like tight connections, so can and do allow at least 3½ hours between flights if at all possible, and BA's T5 First lounge is just fine. With BA's better schedule I get to my destination faster anyway, and only arrive back later because I opt for a longer layover.
