I had seat alert changes and then email advising of flight time changes earlier for booking next May.
I've been put on the 787 flight with same flight numbers BA273/272 so i think the 777 (BA265/264) is the new flight, no?
Either way, can i request to be put onto the earlier 777 flights?

Great to see this. It’s a lovely city indeed and far less stressful as an airport to navigate than LAX. Shame there is no F though. It’s the longest flight from LHR to the US and has a hugely wealthy catchment area in SD county and OC.

As a San Diego resident, I’m happy to see a second daily flight to LHR. However, I’m going to miss the business class seats with the door on the A350-1000. The business class seats on the 787 and 777 are less desirable due to density and forward facing/reverse facing seat arrangement, IMHO. I definitely miss the first class seats that we formerly had with the 747 on this route.

Great to see another flight. Shame no F so doesn't change much for me personally. As a previous poster mentioned I miss 1A (or any row really) on the 747, having taken 10 minutes to get from car to gate (no need for a lounge).
