When I have the choice should I choose traveling on an Airbus 340/330 or a Boeing 777? [closed] - Closeup of stack of blue denim pants neatly arranged according to color from lightest to darkest

I am looking for options to travel long distance with the family. I have the choice between an Airbus 330 or a Boeing 777. The Airbus appears to have pitch between 31-33 and the Boeing is stable at 32. This example is from Air Canada, but if you look at the options at other airlines the same difference can be seen. (eg: KLM 77W and A332) The choices I am investigating are not shown on seatguru.

When you look at the seatmaps, the Boeing 777 appears to offer a much more "cramped" experience then the Airbus 330. Can be this due to optical illusions? BTW I am flying economy class. First class seems comfortable in both models.

So my question is if the Airbus 330 is a better choice if you fly economy.



Best Answer

Personally, I wouldn't base my decision based on A330 vs 777 but on the Carrier's service and reputation, and their in-flight entertainment offering.
