We will definitely fly business class, our parameters are - don't want british airways due to previous experiences - have found Virgin to be very good over the years and we collect and use their points, would consider an alternative if justified. (ps, it is a holiday flight)
Just done this with Etihad, picked up from home on time and flights on time, A380 London to Abu Dhabi is great, 777 for second leg is ok, only downside is Abu Dhabi airport which is a bit of a scrum. We also took a Virgin flight Melbourne to Adelaide which earns points. Also flown route with Brunei who are cheap and perfectly fine and Emirates/Qantas, all have flat beds so in my opinion I would happily use any of the above.
