Great news!
I had already booked F for next September (AA points), thankfully I'm on the flight that has been switched to the A380
Given their small A380 fleet size, Etihad are doing a great job in bringing them to Australia.
How did you manage that (the BNE-MEL bit on the front)?Booked BNE-MEL-AUH-LHR 100K + $AU91.
Took less then 10 min to book over the phone (called AA SYD number). Flights in July, hope I'll be able to use them.

Just got off the EY A380 Apartments in LHR. The hard product is just as incredible as it looks online but they've created a service procedure so incredibly detailed and complex that the crew struggle to deliver it and things were forgotten about or done incorrectly. I thought SQ F service was significantly better. Has anyone else who has done it experienced this?
Service on EY F can be hit and miss. In my view better than most but not as polished as some Asian airlines.
I'm not sure what you mean by detailed and complex. You can order anything from the menu whenever you want, you can ask them to make the bed anytime you want (even before takeoff on A380), you're basically in full control of the schedule.
You can order whatever you want but the way each thing is delivered/presented is what is complicated. For example if you order a glass of wine they bring you just an empty glass. Then they go and get the bottle. Then they show you the bottle. Then they pour you a taste. Then they talk to you about it. Then they slowly pour a full glass. Then they ask you if you want anything else. Then they take the bottle back to the galley and move on to the next task. That's just for a single drink.
Get 2 people doing this level of detail for a 6 or 7 course lunch for 9 people at once and you get an idea of how many hundreds and hundreds of tiny tasks they have to complete on a flight less than 7 hours. There's plenty of room for error.
