I much prefer Boeing's widebody jets such as the 767, 777, 787, 747 but narrow body I prefer the airbus.

Boeings look nicer.

Some of the boeings are nice, though I can't wait for the Airbus A350 ;)

My Dad is a 757/767 Captain. I've flown both and have over 50 hrs in a Boeing Simulator, a few crases we won't talk about. I'm a Boeing boy, and have a lot of trips around the world in Boeing and Airbus Airplanes.

Since most US Airlines use Boeing and they are usually filthy, I've enjoyed my Airbus flights better. My Dad flys for Delta and I usually ride with him in the cockpit or Business Seats, Their airplanes are filthy compared to Singapore Airlines or United Emirates Airlines. BTW....my dad is a far better Captain than ant I've met from Singapore and ESPECIALLY the Arabs. THEY CANT Fly without an autopilot and computer.

I'm really looking forward to the new Boeing Dreamliner (787)

For long haul, I prefer the typical Airbus A330/340 seating of 2-5-2 over the B747/777 seating of 3-4-3. For short-haul, my favorite is Embraer E170/190

The coca cola or pepsi of air travel... I have never travelled im an Airbus nor a Boeing but there are positives and negatives to both. Airbus rewrote the rules of civil aircraft manufacturing. Fly by wire, glass cockpits, joysticks in the cockpit. I could go on.

I hate to advertise but there was an amusing picture, followed by this arguement on facebook, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post it. I'll check, because there are some excellent images you VT aerosexuals will enjoy.

EDIT: The following link is directly related to the conversation: Airbus A330 vs 767 on taxiway (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150896816748733&set=a.351133218732.155259.26027368732&type=1&theater)

Boeing is the only company I've ever flown on to be honest. I've been across Canada eight times and most Air Canada planes are either Bombardier or Boeing

Um, I would have to say Boeing because it's a bit more spacious and I prefer the engines on wing design, not the engines on tail design. But my last experience was over a year ago, so memory isn't so good.

I've been Airbus Fan All the way. But now i can compare, I see just a little difference, Let's say, Business Class. Compare:

A380:

B777:

http://www.boeing.com/companyoffices/gallery/images/commercial/k63369_10.jpg

I find Both Are kind of the same, with different desing of corse, but If you look closely to the seats there is a bit more room in the A380 seats than in the Boeings. Also, both have nice lighting, and look good, in my oppinion the seats of the B777 Look a bit more comfortable.Always been an Airbus Fan myself, as said, but the Boeing 777 looks stuning. It just depends on taste you got in ym oppinion, they do the same and feel kinda the same, so, up to you.

I choose the Airbus :D

I like the Boeing makes, Especially as the 767 looks small but can fly for up to 13 14 hrs non stop. 300ER of course. Air Canada for e.g. YYZ- TLV 12 - 13 hrs non stop. 767-300ER

:eek: lol, I can't see any Airbus plane that beats a Boeing. The A380 just looks like a bloated 747.

I live right by one of the Boeing plants, so it's a given lol. I've seen the 787 Dreamliner fly over my place a few times during test drives. Pretty cool! Infact, they build the 787 in the plant I'm by.

Boeing for me. they have mate a lot of decent airliners, but they have also made some shit hot fighters, the f15, the super hornet, but what wins it is the Apache, total death machine

These aren't airlines, they're manufacturers of aircraft. Google a Boeing 737-800.

No question about it, it's Boeing!

Feel so much safer on those, than scarebuses.

The last great airliner was the old Douglas DC-7. As far as I'm concerned, all this technology makes the new airliners flying computers. The DC-7 is so much prettier too.http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviation-photos/middle/3/8/7/0109783.jpg
