What common aircraft type have you never flown on?

That may eventually become a difficult thing to avoid …
I will never fly to North America which might improve my chances.
Qantas isn't planning to buy any at this stage.
I'm not flying Virgin until they return to wide bodied aircraft anyway.
My favourite destinations are in Europe and Airbus (obviously) dominates there.
Airbus also seems to dominate in South America.
So Asia is probably the only region in which I am going to need to choose my flights carefully.
If I want to avoid the death trap!

I dunno, I reckon things can be fixed.

Courier companies seem to have been flying MD11's for decades since all those DC10's fell out of the sky, for example ... come to think of it I've not seen one flying into Sydney in the last year or two (maybe they finally did fall out of the sky?).

Also, is this where I drop the "Bonza" bomb? :)
 
Of the current A&B types flying today and from the last 40 odd years my gaps are the A310, A350 and A220. My bingo sheet is full with the Boeing variants (excluding the 707).
Also a LH DC10 in the mid 80s, SIN to FRA.

I am supremely confident that I am most definitely not part of the market demographic which Bonza is targetting.
I won't even set foot on a Deathstar aircraft so no fare would be low enough to tempt me onto a B737-MAX.
No matter how true blue the moniker.
Although I note their good fortune in being allocated the AB flight prefix.
 
Still haven’t made it onto a B787. Trip next month gets me on an A321neo.

FedEx is actively flying MD11's at least to Sydney. The screen capture is as of now.
