Winter 23 aircraft swaps
Just had a seat change message. Jan 24 LHR-JNB 54/57 return A380 swapped for 789. Due to reliability issues or loads?

The same seems to have happened on my January 24 Miami flights.

BA 285 to SFO on Jan 24th is now an A380. Annoying as going from CS to old CW.

I was hoping my November trip to SYD would change to a 777 with CS but it’s still showing as a 789!

Aaaaand now BA 286 to LHR on Feb 6th is a 777 not an A380 so there go my cheap economy twin seats upstairs. Sigh.

Ive never really booked this far ahead; is this common to happen? Do they ever change back?

I would infinitely prefer CW on the 789 than on the 380.

Looks like A380s move to DXB, double MIA, last LAX, early SFO, BOS, DFW.
Double 787 to SIN, but will any -9s have completed refits?
First class returns to DOH on the 777 with 5 (!!) flights departing within an hour or so from Heathrow and Gatwick.
There used to be some good sites summarising changes, but I cant remember where.

November LAX changed to an A380, so bye to my first chance of trying club suites.... Will BA let me switch to the earlier A350 for free? I doubt it!
