Favorite. Anything with four engines and big seats.
I have not done enough lying to compare. But I like the 747.

As posted, I like 734 aisle seats in any of the rows 1-6. If in the normal 12 J config, 4, 5 or 6 will do just fine thanks ... :cool:
Yes I know your preference for leg room and I don't blame you but my sanity is a little more important and leaving my sanity in control of morons in front is not a wise move. :(
 
AA's MD80/83 would have to be my worst - and I only ever experienced them in F so can't imagine what they were like at the back. I'd even prefer to fly their American Eagle Embraer baby-jets over the mad-dogs.

I still have a soft spot for the 747 for nostalgic reasons - my first international flight was on a KLM 747 in the 90s, my first Business trip was an op-up as a young teenager flying with my family CHC-SYD with Air NZ and my first First flight was a QF 747 back when you were given a menu of video cassette tapes you could borrow for the flight.

I also love the smaller prop aircraft - particularly the Cessna 152/172s which my father used to fly, and the Beechcraft King Air series which make charter flights around the US so cheap.
 
Favourite: Hands down the A380, simply love everything about it. Followed by 777 long-haul and short-haul the good old A320.

Least favourite: 747, always hated the ugly hump on it and now getting old doesn't make them anybetter (please don't shoot me- just my personal opinion ;)).
Same goes for the old and coughpy 767s on QF, even older and coughpier 757s and anything with a propeller. MD80s and the likes I'm not even mentioning but unfortunately far too often have to fly with over in the US :shock:
 
I'm honestly surprised that no-one has specifically said they hate the 734's yet?

The most comfortable Y seats on the QF network IMHO especially in that J/Y zone. Without a doubt. Never knock the 734!!
