- BA is currently operating two daily flights on the A380 (with old J Seats) and A350 (with CS). The latter is occasionally swapped with a 777 with old J seating. AA operates a 787 on that route, and AA's J seat is excellent in my opinion.

- Foodwise I lean toward AA, although others may disagree, and AA has a far better selecton of premium booze (e.g. Woodford Reserve and 12-yr-old Glenlivet vs JW Black on BA.)
I've asked our corporate travel agent to route me back on AA from ORD, as they depart from T3 and I can have access to the Flagship Lounge while BA is in the International Terminal and by all accounts on here the lounge is even worse than ever!
