QF in Y in just so much better than BA in every respect I think it's pretty clear why BA seem to be pulling out of Australia. The new A380 product will go that one step further with:
- Internet access at all seats
- Panasonic new generation VOD system with no floor boxes
- Self service bar areas
- New seats which use only two floor legs (instead of three) creating far more footspace as well as the new reclining seats with moving base.
And that's just Y. When the A380 comes online, QF will be substantially better than BA in every class.
