    First of all, I've read many times that Varig was one of the best airlines in the world not many years ago, and I really feel sorry for its very difficult situation at the moment. Besides, Varig is a very important partner for TAP.

    Indeed, I flew LIS-GRU on a MD11 and GRU-LIS on a B763 back in August 2004. Both the MD11 and B763 looked a bit tired inside but I was lucky on the MD11 because I got a seat in the middle seats of row 40 (the last row with seats in the middle) and I got plenty of legroom. In fact, IFE was a bit poor because only one film was shown on these 9-hour+ flights. The MD11 still had overhead monitors but the B763 had only the main screen. In fact, this B763 was used also by Varig to fly the EuroAtlantic charter flights so I guess it had a "charter" configuration.

    However, I had 9 good domestic flights with Varig. The only annoying thing was the constant delays, usually less than 1 hour but 4 hours in one of them.

    Cheers.

    Well I would love to fly on a rissian aircraft once in my life, i have no problems with the Iberia cabin crew and I haven't tried AA Y-class yet, so I can't vote

    But back to the topic, since I haven't flown yet Russian aircraft/airlines, I flew AA economy only once back in 2000 and I haven't flown Iberia since 1998, my vote goes to Varig's long-haul flights just to tease the thread-starter.

    Cheers.
    What a rude words my friend...
    I won´t say the same thing abt Portuguese carriers once I flew TAP and Portugalia only short haul flights and I had no complains abt that.
    But, I´m sure you flew Varig long-haul o/b the MD-11s.(I assume they´re terrible!). If you fly the 777 you´ll love it! (They have BA and UA IFE).
    Anyway, nothing worst than AA economy class and service.
    Cheers!
