I recently travelled on BA from LHR->HKG in BA's NEW first class. Boy are BA a long way behind their competitors. The seats are early 2000's style, the food has no flair or interest, the entertainment system is out of the 1950's - I really pitied the poor guys that had to deliver this awful product. I flew to the UK on QF on an A380. The service from MEL->SIN was pretty average - typical QF crew who don't listen to what you ask - but the crew SIN-> LHR were really good. The plane was late due to mechanical problem on a 1 month old A380!!! Seems like QF have heaps of problems with any plane with an A in front of it. But the seats are great, the food interesting and the entertainment system worked!!! SQ still have the best first seats - QF and CX are about the same. SQ and CX have the most consistent service but the QF food is far more interesting - even though SQ and CX serve Dom Perignon and caviar!!! Over to you...
