QF/BA JSA and the A380

[v8Statesman]

Hi,

Did a quick seach and found nothing. Does anyone know is the QF/BA JSA on the 'roo route extends to the QF A380? If so would a BA "F" ticket get you in the right cabin

Looking at ba.com, it seems it does extend to the A380, note that the BA site does not know what the Aircraft type is.

According to the OW Timetable tool - that flight is scheduled to be operated by an A380 for the BA number and an A388 for the QF flight number (32). either way - it's an A380.

Fortunately, the A380 only comes in one model at the moment (the -800). I guess the stretch -900 will turn up one year or another.

Yeah, many systems simply can't stomach the Qantas A388 yet, they prefer A380 ...

More importantly, E/F is showing the following for a 388 operating QF31/BA7371 SYD-LHR on 2nd Jun:

BA7371: F4 A0 J9 C9 D9 I9 W9 T5 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V0 N0 O9 Q9 S9
QF0031: R9 F4 A0 J9 C9 D9 W9 T5 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V0 S9 N0 Q9 O9

An on 30th May:

BA7371: F0 A0 J9 C9 D6 I0 W9 T7 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V0 N0 O8 Q9 S9
QF0031: R9 F0 A0 J9 C9 D9 W9 T7 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V0 S9 N0 Q9 O9

So, where Qantas offer F, BA do as well. BA do not offer R as yet and if QF have only R (i.e. F0), there is no F available on the BA codeshare.
