Thanks for the quick reply and helpful insights. Appreciate it.

Yes all flights on J so even the BA hop to LHR as well as the PHL-LAX.

The 3 total flights I agree is a bit of a bummer. Just was thinking the new plane would be cool.

I think you are spot on though 77W Suites with BA or avoid LHR and have 2 total flights both with lie flats.

Connect time in PHL is kind of perfect- 3 hours & 20 min. Time to not rush at all and check out the new FL.

The connection time in LHR on option 1 can be multiple options b/c then I can choose which flight to leave BCN from and which to leave LHR from. I believe it can be 90 min to 4.5 hours just how I set it up.

I didnt realize most of the A380's are still that horrible 2-4-2 set up.
