Which aircraft (and decks, if A380) still have the "four corners" service style in WT, where trolleys start at the front and back of each aisle and meet in the middle?

The A350 and the 777s use a four corner style service. For the larger 777 cabins, sometimes we do the ‘front’ cabin and then the ‘back’ cabin.
The 787 requires 2 to a double trolley so it’s just front to back. The same applies on the A380.
WTP is always front to back.

Is it just my bad luck, catching the 'wrong' airframes of have the drop-down TV screens disappeared from all A320s? I miss the flight map.

They're gone. There might be a few old 319s that still have them but they're not in use anymore.

It's a shame that the WiFi portal doesn't have a flight map on it - that would basically replace it.

That is a great call that would cost virtually nothing. But it is an IT fix, albeit software. We all know how fickle BA's IT infrastructure is so I imagine this is so far down the priority list it will not be in our lifetime.

Despite having a BA logo on the homepage, onboard wifi is entirely an IAG function. A map still be a nice addition though - don’t some airlines team up with FR24 for it?
