Favorite long-haul airplane????
Favorite long-haul airplane????
Just curious what your favorite long-haul airplane is. Please, only vote on an airplane if you have actually been on it. Lets hear airline services onboard, how comfy the seats were, inflight movies, meals, the whole gambit!!!

I would go for the 767 of AA.
I also flew on the 747 a few times.
But if you ask for the service and all things in-flight...
The in-flight service with BA was good, but the seats were not so good if I remember well. So I voted the 767 Luxury Liner of AA. (coach)
Very good service, seats were also good ( especially the leather headrests ).
I didn't fly on a wide-body of Airbus yet, so maybe my opinion will change one day.

I would say a B777.
Had a great flight on an American Airlines triple seven from Los Angeles to London. Anyway you always get a better service and nicer AC on a high competition route. I like the personal entertainment system, and when the flight is not full the 777 is super !.
A nice AC but not really my favorite is a B767, This type is the only one you can fly from Brussels to the US, what a pity !. ( How could I forget Biman's DC10 !, your favorite airline for low cost, high risk flying ).
I hope Brussels is going to become a 7E7 heaven when airlines replace there aging 767's.

The B777 is the best plane. Very quiet and comfortable.
I warmly recommend the B777 of UA with good legroom in economy (better than their B767-300), their configuration is better than the B777 of TG (2-5-2 against 3-4-3), and each seat is equipped with PTV. The service onboard is the same as TG.
I would also love to fly on a A340-500/600.

I've been on lots of 767's. I have to say though, I like the inflight service of Virgin Atlantic. I was on a flight (ORD-LHR) on a A340 (a shorter one, can't remember which though) and they had the personal tv's where you could play video games and such. Was the only time I could experience that on a long trip. Comfortwise though, 777 all the way. Though, I have been on AA767's a few times (ORD-HNL) and they were nice too.

My only experience I can actually remember o na long haul flight was from Houston To Amsterdam on a KLM 747 back in 1993 i was only small but hey it was great stuff and a great introduction to long haul flights.
Plus from a viewing point of view, watching a 747-400 land and take off, To see such a machine make its way into the sky and appear from it so majestically is great fun.
Cant wait for the A380 now
8) Forza!

I went onto the flightdeck of a 747-400 of Air New Zealand, flying between Heathrow and Los Angeles. We were somewhere over Greenland or Canada because there were alot of mountains below, the view was fantastic. It was even better because the economy class passengers were banned from opening the window blinds and so had to spend the entire 10 and a half hour flight in a dark cabin.
Sabena and Sobelair - gone but never forgotten.

The Maharaja In The Sky.
Bom-Lhr-Jfk-Lhr-Bom.
Amazing food in the business class, with a good selection of wine and drinks and good cashewnuts as condiments.
Vegetarian Food in AirIndia is the best compared to about 27 airlines, i have travelled in so far.
Seats were spacious and yes, the service (though not from lovely faces) was plesant and yes with a smile.
No restrictions whatsoever and in fact had a chance to go to the cockpit and see the view from there. Was awestruck.

Aum Sweet Aum.
Excuse me.
Where are the MD-11 and DC-10???
Still some airlines use the MD-11 as a regular aircraft. Think about Thai, KLM, Finnair,...
The same for the DC-10 Northwest, JAL,...
Also the B747 there is no choice inbetween the Classics as 100,200,300 and the 400
So I must hold my vote as the best widebody remains the MD-11.
