Easy decision.
+1
Also
because they don't fly from London to new York, and they don't fly nonstop from Delhi or Bangkok to London. Having said that, when I ( or my company) pays for First I would choose 9W or TG on the BKK and
DEL certainly not BA.. not ditto for CW where BA still trumps. On LON-NYC No contest in F or J. BA wins
These considerations apart, in F of course I would choose most ( non US) airlines over. BA if you are cosmopolitan about your product preferences ... EK SQ, CX TG EY, LH, NH, OZ all have a far superior F product.
But J. Is a different story. More complicated. Head to head EK A380 is a very attractive product. So is SQ, if you don't get 747UD. Ditto CX otherwise I think BA still trumps em... Even given the uninspired rote offering on the 380
