[...]Are they still flying their A380s to Dulles? Last time I looked at schedules there were none listed—it showed a daily 747 and a daily A380. (Of course, you know I wish they were still operating what's shown in my avatar!)

They were still using them on that run as recently as this past November. BA normally run two flights a day out of Dulles; in recent years they've used either an A380 or a 747 on the earlier of the two flights (usually leaves round 18.30) depending on level of demand. The later flight usually uses a 777 or 787, although sometimes they'll use the A350 which they've just started deploying (I've flown in that aircraft with Qatar Airways and it is quite nice, even in tourist class).

My three current BA bookings (October/November - one hopes) all use the 747 on the outbound flight to London (as of an online booking check I did this morning, but that will no doubt change).
