YYZ is not a very premium market. Other than KE's crappy 789, I can't think of any other airline that offers First Class to YYZ. LH stopped a few years ago.

BA is doubly disappointing for me as my entire route (DXB-LHR-YYZ) has been relegated to Air Belgium.

Just stepped off the flight.
A number of people on the flight having been bumped down to CW visibly angry especially when most of them were sitting right behind a completely empty first cabin which they had paid for, seems everyone is in the same boat including paid tickets with no compensation or refunds yet.
The cabin crew were doing their best but had absolutely no idea what was going on, and kept saying that they didn’t have first on this route, which obviously angered people even further. The only thing they could say is that they would put in a request through the iPad.
They did mention that first doesn’t start until 31st March in line with the change of schedule, which seems like good news for anyone booked after this. If true, almost seems like a bit of a scheduling cock up perhaps they incorrectly sold first a day too early.
