Have been flying BA on and off since it was BOAC and there were propellers on each engine!. We decided to fly BA on this trip for simple economics as the Business Class fare offered was significantly less than what Emirates (who we have previously flown) were charging. Overall we were not disappointed with the experience provided by the cabin staff who were very attentive and responded well to requests. The lay-flat seats and quilts were quite comfortable for sleeping on which is important given that much of the flight is during hours normally dedicated to sleep. The rearward facing centre seats may seem strange to some travelers but personally does not concern me. However, this seat configuration on the B777 means you have to be reasonably athletic to step over the legs of the passenger in the row behind (who is facing forwards). to get out of your seat. I have often wondered why BA adopted this layout which, from reading previous posts, obviouly annoys many passengers. Please BA can to replace the B777 on the Sydney /London run with and Airbus A380 or a B787
