BA plans for 380s and 787s
The beige interior scheme looks ok to me. As for being the same since the 80's you can't have flown BA much then as it was dark blue up until quite recently when 'new' Club World was introduced.

Each to their own as far as taste is concerned, but I checked some old 127 film pics from the mid 80's on shuttle flights before I posted and it was grey & beige. Mind you that was strictly cattle class until the past couple of years to get into Club on BA & maybe it's coincidence that I took pictures on wrongly coloured planes, maybe not - but then again interior decoration is not on the same par as world peace after all .
Bottom line is - with other airlines having a much more bright and airy feel to their cabin, the BA one just seems tired and dingy, even when you have the fortune to fly on a nearly new aircraft. I'm just so disappointed that this is almost a once in a generation opportunity being missed, to come up with a much better customer environment to make BA what it once was - "The World's Favourite Airline".
What's driving my thinking here is that SQ reworked & relaunched their business class product based on the introduction of the 380 to their fleet. BA have the golden opportunity of introducing the 380 & 787 within a couple of months of each other. How often does a major airline introduce not one, but two new types almost simultaneously?

Fortunately I don't have to travel to Singapore or Australia, can't stand either country. I regularly take my vacations in South Africa & Kenya & find the BA CW product to be absolutely fine.
Whilst I'm sipping my champagne & watching my movie I have neither the time nor the inclination to check out the decor. The pretty hosties' rear is much more entertaining!
