Looking at other destinations it seems reward space is better than in the previous three years.
I had a very similar experience on the same route (MIA on A380 in October). I had managed to get 4 CW Award seats which I thought was pretty good going in the first place. A few weeks ago I just happened to check to see if there was any F availability and there were 5 F Award seats there! Needless to say I called up asap to get us moved. Even the BAEC agent was surprised that 5 seats had opened up. Only downside is that we do not depart from T5 so no CCR and, by all accounts on here, a very disorganised boarding process in T3. However, I have never been to the BA F lounge in T3 so looking forward to a different experience.
