If i call Ba does anyone think it will cost a lot more to change to the 747 flight earlier in the day. Gutted really wanted to exp the A380. The evil of it all is i am flying back from vegas and i know thats a shocker of AC but could handle that knowing i was going out on A 380. Might try and cancel altogether Ba not looking too good so far!!
Refurbed 747 is pretty nice.

I believe the A380 is operating to ORD this winter, so some juggling of the schedule was needed.
Same has happened to me in December. At booking, tt was an A380, changed to a 4 class 772. I had the option of booking SJC on the way home, but went for SFO instead, partly the A380 and partly the slightly better flight time, IIRC.
Quite disappointed that we're now on the unrefurbished 772, but there is very little we can do I think, other than change to an A380 operated service on Mon, Tue and Wednesday, I believe.

I can't find the thread right now, but I seem to recall it is A380 3 days a week and 747 2 days and 777 two days also, with the morning flight always being a 747.
If you want an A380 just try a different day (I think it might be Thurs, Sat and Sun, but I can't remember precisely).

The 380 is a nicer ride for sure, but 747 - not too bad!

To be honest I would consider the super-hi 747 configuration superior to the A380. To be honest even with the old IFE, the upper deck is something special - and time limited. I think there is a reasonable argument that the upper deck Super-Hi J is currently the best CW seat in the fleet.
For some reason Ive never slept well on the A380, on overnight flights. I don't there are any particularly better or worse seats on the upper deck, at least, Ive never travelled on the main deck. So, even though the 777 is my least favourite aircraft, maybe it won't be so bad.
Will the new CW service be rolled out by December? I don't think it will quite be on the SFO route by then?

A380 -777
There has been a thread about this on here for quite some months now, so this isn't new news.
I can't find the thread right now, but I seem to recall it is A380 3 days a week and 747 2 days and 777 two days also, with the morning flight always being a 747.
