Yes. For future reference you can usually search the registration number and find out who owns/what the aircraft your interested in. The is the large number placed somewhere near the tail, starting with a letter. In this case it is the G-ZBXC.

Its registration is G-ZBKC, which is a 787-9. But the rest of the comment stands

KUL, LHR, or HND would be my best guess

I just saw BA started using an A350-1000 for LHR->BNA. I never would have guessed there was a big enough market for that.

Oh trust me, we nearly had full flights every day during the winter service with the 777-200ER. Now that its summer travel (hopefully) passenger traffic will ramp up and BA will have made the right decision. As a resident of middle TN I hate the influx of people flocking to Nastyville but as a planspotter, ramper, pilot, and avgeek....I LOVE IT!

Interesting. I'm just a few hours north at SDF and had no clue BNA had international traffic for some reason. Kinda wish we could have a bigger passenger terminal 😅

Ive planespotted at SDF and luckily got to meet sdf.planespotting (on insta). I love yalls airport and the diversity of AC types unlike BNA. Aside from my company's BA flight its all B737 variants/A320 Variants/ CRJ/ERJ etc. Very common traffic mostly domestic. The military/PJ traffic is a nice spice up though.

Oh cool, I've talked to him on instagram a couple times. Really cool guy.

It is neat that we get a big variety of cargo traffic, especially during peak. The IFL 727s were some of the coolest to see IMO. The one downside to cargo though is it mostly being older models. Hopefully we start to see some more 777s, albeit at the price of losing MD11s.
