No, it is much nicer than the 737/A320 class. Just thinking of the curve of a 737 makes my neck knot up. Bigger planes like the 747/757/767/777 are much more comfortable as well as modern planes like the A220/E195. 737 class planes are so ubiquitous that many passengers have no idea another experience is possible.
replyMy dislike for widebody airliners is that the odds of getting a window seat are much smaller.
replyWhat’s even the point of flying if you can’t look at the world from up high?
On the A380 you get to enjoy the higher ceiling also in economy. It does make quite a difference for how cramped you feel, even though the leg room might be the same.
replyAnd both B747 and A380 fly much calmer than the smaller, lighter widebodies, which is equally nice for passengers on all classes.
One time I got an entire center row of 5 seats going from Seattle->Heathrow overnight.
replyI had that SF to Heathrow once, though I recollect four seats? Only time I’ve ever had a lie-flat bed on an aircraft.
reply3-4-3 and 3-5-3 are relatively common on 747 and 777 IIRC.
