Not every pax is informed that they have the option of switching flights to LHR on the 380 in F and the compensation is not automatic anyway.

With all due respect, I don't give a monkeys about LGW flights. This will probably be my only chance to fly F as I am now budget restricted to premium economy (BA usuaully) aside from my flights to Manila which are 2 class anyway. Todays EK21 was again a 3 class so looking good now.

I hope you have'nt misunderstood. I wasn't describing you as a noob flying F .:eek: MAN is much less likely to be switched than LGW. Best of luck.

Numbers don't seem to make any difference. We were a party of four and the seat map showed 6/8 seats taken, we still ended up on a 2 class.

Well I was half expecting a downgrade to a 2 class but this is even worse.

"What's on your flight" now shows an A330......will turbo fume if this happens.

I can't.

It now says 77W so hopefully was a just a glitch. Set map still only has 8 seats in F.

No aircraft change, check in agent confirmed it as suites. :)

Lounge is great, far superior to J lounge, ala carte dining was spot on. A perfect steak and lovely prawns to start. Could spend all day here.
