That 380 is going to be massive thing.
But my favorite will remain 777 -- just had a ride in it to Narita an hour ago...

I don't like the 777's 2-5-2 configuration in economy class, I think its 2-3-2 in Business.

Can't beat the familiarity of the long-haul 747's. I also like the Airbus A340 long haul.

I absolutely abhor any Airbus. The damned seats are so bloody small. And I'm not exactly a large person.

The only pretty part about the A380 is the wing with its sweeping curves.

Actually, I used to do the SFO - PVG (Shanghai) a lot before on 747-400 with UA, and now I am doing once a month DFW - NRT on 777 with AA and I find 777 more comfortable. However, every airline has its own seat specs, so... Occasionally, I fly from Beijing to Shenzhen on Air China 777-200 and it is definitely not as comfy as the AA one -- smaller seats.
Yes, Coach is 2-5-2 in 777 and I like it much better than 3-4-3 in the 747, though, again, I end up in the Emergency exit seats 95% of the time going over the Pacific.
On the A340 note, I did it only twice -- once Singapore - FRA (16.5 hours) and it was definitely more comfortable business class than 744. However, I find the A340/330 to be noisier and more bumpy (due to wing design) than the large Boeings...

The A380 was at O'hare yesterday.
I dont like it too much, there are so many delays with it, and many companies are starting to cancel orders.

I like the Boeing 787 better. Its more fuel efficient and faster.

Also many airports have to do expensive upgrades just to accomidate the A380. Not worth it in many people's eyes.
". The aircraft[787] is swift and fuel efficient, with a cruising speed of Mach 0.85. It is smaller and can access regional airports without fuss. It also has a range that can extend to 16,000km carrying about 280 passengers. The good news for passengers is the B-787 is pressurised for a lower altitude and with higher cabin humidity."

but 787 is just the PPT imagination at this point where A380 already flies...And, you cannot compare those two -- it is like comparing the 335 e92 with the minivan...

If I recall the BA 777 is 3-3-3 in economy.

I was in the unfortunate position to sit right smack in the middle on a trans-atlantic flight. It was awful

It all depends on the config of the T7, if its one of BAs World Traveler planes, its 3-3-3.

Sure, Bush's 747 sure does not have 3-4-3 configuration.
However, standard coach is 2-5-2.

Looks like Delta has a 3-3-3 config on the 777 as well.

Check here.

yep, it looks like the Airline preference...
I use the AA over the Pacific and ANA sometimes, and they are 2-5-2...

I submitted the link for future reference (and to show I was wrong), not for the Robot to spend hours looking through all the airlines trying to prove something...

Don't get your panties in a wad there doc. I was making an observation. I live in Atlanta metro and Delta is the home team.

It is sad to see your worthless posts are not confined to the political realm. Don't worry though, we are used to you being wrong.
