Hi,
I have flown on many Boeing 777s and on several Airbus A340-300s and several newer Airbus A340-500/600s. Just wondering how would you compare the comfort of the aircraft (seat config, seat pitch, seat width, overhead bin space, noise, etc.)
Note: This is not an Airbus fans vs. Boeing fans thread, I just want to know which aircraft in general most people prefer.
Given a choice, I would definately take a Boeing 777 over an Airbus A340, as the overall comfort of the plane is much more and the Boeing 777s powered by the RR and PW engines are just as quiet as the Airbus A340-500/600. However, though I would have to agree that the GE90 engined 777s are really loud, so on an extremely long flight (over 10 hours) that might affect my decision.
Here are my choices:
Boeing 777-200ER over Airbus 340-300
Boeing 777-200ER/LR over Airbus A340-500
Boeing 777-300ER tie Airbus A340-600
What are your thoughts,
Rohan
