I was happy enough with it (although the most I'd normally see of the A380 would be World Traveller Plus... Club World is just out of range of my pocket...)

Nice trip report, thanks!
How is the storage space in the A380's CW seat?
I find the B744's CW seat to be frustratingly lacking in any storage areas, I think it must have less storage than the JAL Economy seat I sat in recently! Unless you're fortunate to have an upper deck window, of course, but that is special to a few seats on only the 744.
Is it still all-bags-up for takeoff and landing on the A380? Any storage spaces at all?

I have to fly to London in January. I doubt I will be so happy to get the A380. So I book Economy, Club Europe really isnīt worth it since I know get Lounge Access via Marco Polo Gold

It's still clear floor for takeoff and landing as it is emergency exit requirement.
Glad you enjoyed flatlander
If it's part of a connecting ticket to a long haul segment, it's not a bad thing.
Remember the CX Card will give you access to the T5 Galleries Club lounges, and not the First lounge....
To be honest, I booked club as that what was available on the BA booking engine for redemptions... Club Europe seats were plentiful... EuroTraveller was packed in comparison...

Of course. On long haul I always take a connection flight with Club Europe
@ Lounges: I know, but neither the Club Europe ticket do. So no Concorde room this time....
