Roy, did you have to wear a mask for the duration of the flight?

I suppose the 787 is an ok choice. ;)
Shanghai to LHR - around 14 hours - that's long. Not even sure what the route is now - thanks to a certain person. LHR to Bangkok was great in an Airbus 380 - best plane ever - but the 777 we came back in was dire. If it wasn't the noisiest plane inside that I've ever been in, it sure felt like it was. Appalling - even with ear plugs.
It's taken me years to accept the statistics - that it is safer than driving - and some flights still do have what to me feel like dodgy moments. I really don't like turbulence, though I've now given up counting the number of flights I've been on.
If I remember I try to take photos - though it's a bit hit and miss.
As you know, it is all about maintenance costs.
The A380 is a great aircraft, but I am a little biased in my opinion.
We were planning to go to Brazil, but that's been shelved for the moment. That's a heck of a long way over water, and I think perhaps the best option now is the Dreamliner - but it is a long way - and only two engines .....
I doubt that the 380s will go on that route - would be great if they did. I wasn't too biased before I went on one - incredible planes - and perhaps I'll never go on such a comfortable or relatively quiet flight again. Maybe the 350s are similar, but like the Dreamliner, only two engines.
They will fly the ETOPS routes, so theoretically, will be fine.
