On the return we are on 787-9 in F (SJC). Will monitor if I can find F out of SFO or SJC but otherwise the connection is worth it for me to get on a 747.
Did BA F round trip this last Christmas trip and we both really liked it. Yes the seat isn’t Cathay but we found them very comfortable and the service was excellent!! And the FAs all super friendly.
SAN typically gets the HI-J config, though one one flight I took, I did end up on a MID-J and yes, the IFE played up exactly as expected. That said, MID-J aircraft tend to seek me out. I got a MID-J on a LAX-LHR flight right before Christmas last year. Both MID-J flights did show up on the seating charts months before I actually flew, so at least I knew to load up the iPads.
if you want to post your flight date (or send me a PM) I can look up EF and let you know what’s currently scheduled.
