I like the four engine look (along with the high wings) it's much different from the regular plane style.
Plus, what are the chances that all four engines will fail!

That highly depends on so many different factors I'm too lazy to name even a few. That and I like the BAe as well, possibly because it's so unconventional.

And there's no such thing as too many engines ;)

Coz I'm a supporter of twin jets when possible. :lol:

They did a good job for a STOL aircraft, but they failed to take my order as it's a 4-engined jet.
It's not the matter of Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad. :P

Boeing when flying with United, then I can listen to the radio chatter. With United, I like to know why we're being delayed, and can hear it from the cockpit as opposed to a flight attendant choosing whether to tell us or not.

Overseas, the A330 seems a whole lot better than the 767. I despise the 767. Triple 7 though, now there's an airplane.

I've also had many decent flights on a CRJ.

We doctor all the details to suit you.
Sit back and enjoy your flight on TARDIS Travelways.

Listening to the radios is great. It's a shame they don't do it on more airlines.

Airbus.  Their planes usu. employ newer and greener technology than Boeing's, and are more fuel efficient too.

Don't get me wrong, though, they're both great.

Agree. I hardly fly on it.
Agree. My first A330 experience sucked. Badly.
Agreed. :D What a winner quote :D

Also, fresh, hope you have a nice trip to Kuala Lumpur :D

I have flown in a B767 since my first summer, no joke. AA uses them to do Boston-Paris.
It is quite possibly the worst plane I've ever been in. As much as I love the 777, I think the 767 is uncomfortable and badly designed- comfort wise, not safety wise. Likewise, I hate the 757, again passenger wise it is just horrible. I feel constricted and as I I were in a streched out 737- I hate the 3-3 seating.
i have to say my vote goes to Airbus because the A330 is comfy and I feel alot more comfortable in the A320s. (I have never been in an A340, so can't comment)

I strangely felt that my flight on a Hainan Airlines Boeing 767 a lot more comfortable than on the Air China/Malaysia Airlines/Air Asia X Airbus A330. The seats were very narrow, the A330.

Difficult to chose, I voted for Airbus because I love the A319/20.
But I love Boeing 737-200 and the Boeing 747.

Over all I would rather fly Airbus, but there is still something about the older Boeing models.
