My most enjoyable ride has actually been in a month-old A330.... everything's new and you can even smell teh new airplane smell...

Pleasant experience so far.

I flew a two day old airbus a319 (spirit airlines)... definitely had that new smell too

LOL I love how everyone is ignoring the troll insulting everyone.

 

[potato28]

A bus with air?

Exactly. I fly Frontier whenever possible, and they have all A330's. More legroom than Untied, everything is comfortable and quiet, and Frontier is usually cheapest.

Plus I now have a friend that works for 'em since they're based in Denver. Employee pricing FTW!

I recencly flew on two Airbus jets an A318 and an A319, both were fine and had a nifty screen in the back of the seats with a channell that showed you your position, alititude and airspeed.
Frontier FTW.

What does your experiance of flying have to do with Airbus?

 

[Demon-Xanth]

Note: 3 coach seats in a row PWN 1 first class seat. You end up with a space you can lay down and stretch out in

<-- flew standby and got lucky a couple times.

 

[DaiShan]

Did your plane not have business or first class? I always fly business class when it's available.

Would you like some Freedom Fries as a snack on your flight?

 

[DivideBYZero]

I'm still trying to establish connection between the make of aircraft and the crappy journey. It had everything to do with sitting between two fat fvcks, on an airline with a crappy seat pitch. Could have equally have been a Boeing or an Embraerer.

I find most Airbus craft to be quieter and smoother than most Boeings, but what would I know, being a frequent flyer? I'd rather just rely on a dumb-ass phrase to ensure a smooth flight, because that is all that matters.

Actually, all I need is to not be stuck next to you when you're on your next trip in a 'Scarebus'.

What the hell do "Freedom Fires" have to do with prefering Boeing over Scarebus??

Stop calling it Scarebus, dimwit. It's AIRbus, FYI.

So because its Scarebus that means I like "Freedom Fires"?
I'm not seeing the correlation here......

First time I flew to Maui we were on a plane that had 3 seats on one side and 2 on the other. I liked that. Wife got the window seat she wanted and I got the aisle I wanted.

Last time we flew to Maui we were no an Airbus with 3+3. I didn't much like that. Middle seats suck.

For short flights I don't care much, but when you're spending 12 hours on planes in a day comfort is a little more important. I think I'll look for that 3+2 plane again next time.

 

[imthebadguy]

imo airbuses are nicer than boeing

 

[DivideBYZero]

Not at all. I just don't see anyone coming up with a non-partisan reason for not flying a certain aircraft make. I fly loads. I flew on an Airbus this morning. I flew Boeing a couple of months ago. I fly short and long haul regularly. I just don't see a major difference between the types. Except that the MD-80 types are a bit small and noisey at the back.

I'm not calling you on that, or can you not read as well as reason?
