Update....British Airways has confirmed its first Airbus A380 will make its scheduled debut on the LHR-LAX route from October 15, 2013 followed by flights to HKG from November 15, 2013 and has opened reservations for the services with immediate effect. The UK carrier is due to receive its first Super Jumbo in July and ahead of its scheduled debut will initially use the type on crew familiarisation flights across its short-haul network. British Airways says details on the first commercial services with the A380 “will be announced once plans for training flights are completed”.

Spotted the BA A380 on radar on Friday flying LHR-FRA. Not sure if it has been operational over weekend - but they seem to have it slotted in for two LHR-FRA round trips tomorrow (Mon 5th) and on the 6th.
