Going back a bit but I was also meant to be on this flight (actually BA16 from SYD then BA12) - having seen the text from BA I turned up in SYD with a few CX reroute options to 'suggest' but on reaching the desk found they'd rebooked on BA16 all the way through. I don't much like the 777 CW cabin for 14 hours straight but can't complain too much, I'm not slow to criticise when they get it wrong but they did a good job getting me home on time so fair play. Between that and a J>F op-up on the way out a very good trip really...
