Our family has flown a fair share of both company's planes. They all take off, land and generally work as designed.

Since we've never been on a flight with technical problems, I can't grumble about one company over the other, nor about one plane over the other.

The only exception I would make is the 747. There currently is no other plane in service that matches its ability for long hauls and such a large amount of passengers. I find it an impressive modern wonder of the world. Of course, Airbus has their big A380 coming up soon to complete but 747's have been around for something like 25-30 years now, I believe.

What counts most for me is comfort and that's mostly dependent on the seat models and spacing that differ from one airline to another - even on the exact same plane model.

I chose not to vote on this thread. It smells of childish nationalistic partisanship and has little to do with facts in the air.
