British Airways' long-haul fleet nowadays primarily consists of long-range widebody twinjets, with both older Boeing 777s and newer 787s and Airbus A350s present. With multiple different variants in its fleet, the UK flag carrier is able to serve a wide variety of long-haul destinations, both in terms of range and demand. However, for higher-demand corridors from its Heathrow hub, it has a trick up its sleeve.

The trick in question is the Airbus A380, which, in BA's configuration, has the capacity to seat 469 guests. While airlines around the world have struggled to make the 'superjumbo' work on an economic level, British Airways has fine-tuned its route network for the double-decker quadjet to serve a handful of high-demand long-haul destinations. This April, all of its A380 routes are served at least daily.
