Haven't seen anything yet. Up until mid/late March they are only offering codeshares to HKG and then BA to LHR, with BA15/16 then coming on line again with their old B787 fit-out.Hi everyone,
Just wanted to ask if anyone has heard any rumours or news if BA are jumping back on the LHR-SIN-SYD kangaroo route this year now that NSW is opening up fully. Currently they still are only operating from April 2022 I believe.
Please correct me if i'm wrong - Is the old 787 J fit-out that terrible 2-2-2 configuration with every other seat facing backwards ?Haven't seen anything yet.

Worse than that. It is 2-3-2 and the seats are narrow as well as facing your neighbour.Please correct me if i'm wrong - Is the old 787 J fit-out that terrible 2-2-2 configuration with every other seat facing backwards ?
Indeed. I'm planning to fly SYD-LON sometime next year in J class, but I won't be considering BA, even though I'm BA Gold and have enough avios for an award ticket.Worse than that. It is 2-3-2 and the seats are narrow as well as facing your neighbour.
Agree. Those A350s can't come soon enough.Indeed. I'm planning to fly SYD-LON sometime next year in J class, but I won't be considering BA, even though I'm BA Gold and have enough avios for an award ticket.
What an awful setup for a long flight (and a waste of avios/cash)...

Currently the Federal Govt, who control the border, have stated will only allow AU citizens, PR's & eligible family to enter AU (and therefore NSW). When AU will be open for general travel is unknown. For me would not be expecting this calendar year. Would guess 2022 Q1.Hi everyone,

Long haul EU/UK to AU, when it starts, will be a lot of competition from QF, the ME3 and other Asian airlines

You got it. Might be ok if its your partner you are staring at, but a bit of a lottery if on your own.Is that the config with those stupid collapsible wall things that the FA’s have to put up and down in order to serve you and you get to state directly at a strangers face when they are down? Loath that config.

...and Tony HancockBA presumably would want fully vaccinated Brits to be able to come to Sydney as tourists with no quarantine. Maybe they could get by for a little bit with pent up demand from Aussies to come home, but their core customer base is British people.
