Landed at LHR this morning on the Virgin inbound from JNB (A350-1000). Quite full too; 291 pax on board. Some turbulence as usual over DRC etc, but as I was sitting near the wing, it wasn't too bad, and it is quiet. Can't remember how it compares to the 787.
Outbound I flew UC, but oh my, the set up was quite uncomfortable. The seat is angled towards the window, but the table isn't. I had some serious backache after 11 hours, as did a pax in front of me. That said, everything else was great.
heard that BA cancelled one of their LHR-JNB flights, thankfully I have booked with Virgin for my flight back down in Sep. Unfortunately, I think they may change back to the 787 in September..ish. But yes, I do like the A350
