Me too, especially after having recently flown First aboard Emirates' A380 between London and Dubai. Maybe it's just me but I think there's a lot to be said for cabin ambience and its overall affect on us during a long 10+ hour flight. C'mon, BA - at least make it look a bit more homelike.

I really like the addition of that Tasting Menu. Why don't BA offer it on their non-A380 flights?
