Damn! Have to fly Airbus this trip...

I find the comfort factor is usually down to the airline you fly with, and not the aircraft.

I've been through more nasty flights on Boeing than Airbus, but thats probably due to pilots/weather/airline. It's all the same cigar tube

Maybe in europe its like that. Try flying in the US - Most (though not all) are night and day between Airbus and Boeing. That is why i usually will pay up to $100 more for a flight to fly Boeing aircraft specifically.

This is cute - silly Europe Bashing by pissing on Airbus and gloryfying Boeing ...

Primitive

P.S. A Dreamliner is great but you may consider if it would ever be developed without the pressure of competiton by ... eh ... Airbus?

I couldn't care less where the plane is made. Comfort (so to speak) and safety are what count.

Our Airbus economy class experiences have all been worse than equivalent Boeing ones. And, I agree that 777s are very nice.

UPDATE: Hate 737s, though.

Perfect analysis.

P.S. The long Airbus with four engines is the A-340.
