I’m booked on business class from Dubai to LHR. I got the ‘seat change’ email so my wife and I are now in 9a & 9c. Sounds ok but I’m not able to see the seating plan on the BA website.
Sounds like a ‘like for like’ change but is there anywhere I can view the seating plan?

I linked a (seemingly very favourable) review of their A340 business class upthread - though that was not a leased arrangement, and unconnected to BA. Would be interested to get some feedback from affected pax who opt for Air Belgium on the DXB route.

EDIT: This is a correction to earlier report appeared on Airlineroute.

From London Heathrow, overall service will be reduced from 21 to 12 weekly, with Airbus A380 operating as BA107/106, from 16APR19 to 04MAY19.

Received an e-mail from BA last Friday saying they have replaced the B777 on the LHR-DXB with the Air Belgium A340.
We were booked WTP and told we would only get WT, as it's our wedding, not accepting so they offered the BA0106 0225 DXB-LHR on any of the 3 days... not with with my 5 year old thank you!
Had an argument as the person insisted when I got hold of them after 2 days that they couldn't book to QF as it wasn't OneWorld.......... Told them I am not accepting it as we booked a holiday and they have broken this. They then offered a full refund, so took it. Although losing 41,000 avios for the appalling service from BA's customer service lines, rebooked on Emirates instead.
We can take the wedding dress and my suit in the aircraft now as well.
Be firm if you don't want to accept it, they can refund but only if you have been downgraded. If you are like for like, you'll struggle to get refunded.

Thanks jtuk for sharing that experience here, it may well help others. And welcome to Flyertalk and the BA forum, I hope we will see more of you, even if your immediate BA travel plans are out of the window.

i am afraid rebooking on to EK is not an option being offered by BA, see early in the thread for what’s available.
