In my opinion, a lot is down to the crew - I've not done the 789 or 747.
I prefer the A380 cabin to the 777.
Also I have generally experienced a lesser service from mixed fleet crews.

I've not flown F on the A380 but for the others I'd put them 789,747,777-200,777-300.

The 789 is really great, especially if you're on your own. With the exception of the single loo at the front there really aren't many down sides. It's not too quiet that you end up hearing chatter/eating etc. I like the big screen, the image quality is a real improvement on other aircraft. Having the moving map details on the handset is quite nice to have as well.
The 747 is very good, especially the newly refurbished aircraft with the Panasonic IFE. I personally favour row 2 to row 1 though.
As for the 777s, I quite like the -200, however will actively avoid the -300. The inability to easily navigate between the two toilets at the back of the cabin is a real gripe I have.
I'd like to try the A380, but following my experience in Club on one I'm not in any rush. It was too quiet - all I could hear on a night flight was people talking. And I had a row to myself so they weren't that close.

+1 on this! The F product on the 787 is awesome - and the 380 cabin feels spacious and nice. Although I'm a sucker for a good seat right up in the 747 nose..

Rydad1 for actual photos of the 789 on my KUL trip (plug!!) have a look at the review in my signature. It really is a fantastic seat and cabin.

My ranking:
1. 789. 787 is a great plane. Feel so much better coming off it. New seat is a good improvement. 8 seats seems a little more exclusive.

2. 380. More space. Better food. Feel better coming of it than a 777 or 747.

3. 777. More space than 747

4. 747. Cramped. Take 4/6 seats out and replace with a mix of a380 space and 789 seat and it would be superb.

It's all F though so no real hardship.

A380 by far the best imo. Quiet, spacious and you feel better when you arrive. 777 is next best.

I've not flown the 789 but it looks far too cramped to be called F, whilst the 747 is far too cramped to be called F.

A good summary. Haven't done the 789 yet, but would agree that 8 seats makes it the most exclusive and private cabin. I fully expect it to be #1 when I try it in August.

The 380 is unusual in that it doesn't feel that you are actually on board an aircraft. The food was great on both occasions I tried it and certainly well ahead of 747/777 standards, apparently because of much more modern ovens. There's a lot of space and the cabin feels airy.

777 - the aircraft the NF suite was originally designed for. It's fine.

747 - cramped, unless you're in Row 1, and then you can't see anyone else. The nose is still the nose though!

A380 for me, love the space around the comfy seat......just perfect. Also at the front of the aircraft where the 2 F washrooms are I love the space that you have to stand and stretch for a while.

Haven't flown F on the 789 yet, but look forward to trying it later in the year.

For me I'd say A380>B787>B777>B747 in F.

I did toy about putting the B777 ahead of the B787 as they have different pros and cons and I've only been on the B787 in F once so wondered if there was still a novelty element to that.

One trend is the B747 has steadily gone down the list for me. If I'm guaranteed row 1 or 2 then it's still pretty good but I just find anything in rows 3 and 4 terribly cramped for an F cabin. Given the upper deck on the same aircraft is a step above any other Club World cabin, on the B747 I'd rather save the cash and/or miles and go upstairs (especially for an overnight flight). It somehow feels more spacious.

I've read that BA started running the Dreamliner last year on the BA0005 to Tokyo. But on my seat map it's showing as a 777-200. (12 seats in F). Is MMB showing the wrong seat map?

What date? It is possible they may have changed back to the B772 (temporarily or otherwise) during the time you are travelling.

We fly out 22 Feb. The flight is showing as a Dreamliner currently on live departures but perhaps the winter timetable is B772? Wonder what the chances are of it changing to Dreamliner pre departure?

Here are the results from Expert Flyer, on that date both TYO flights are scheduled to be on the B777.

The BA5 appears to change from the B789 to the B777 from 29 October (the beginning of the Winter Schedule)..
