Personally I like the look of the 717-

The little fellow intrudes on the big boys but they are out of the way very quickly.

Not everything you see leaving is a plane.

My first jet flight was on a DC 9 - that morphed into the 717.

It's a pretty old bird but at least the legroom looks OK. I can manage with this for a daytime flight... been a long time since I've done long haul Y! :eek:

28B for me. Legroom and elbow space, I'm sure I'll survive ;)

It's character building, right?

Brings back memories.

Back in the day when BA flew PER-xSIN-LHR codesharing QF and I travelled whY, I had good success in snaring my favourite 29A. Flying SYD-LAX on a QF B747 did not offer that option as they didn't configure that row with just two seats. It was one of the few things I've ever liked about BA.

It seems once onboard BA didn't think I actually would survive doing longhaul Y, so they swapped my office for this :)
