I call the A380 the Flytanic. It's not even a very atrractive plane. The 747 is retro now, but it is a beautiful plane. Whenever I can, I fly the 787 on long haul flights. Super comfortable, love it.

I recently flew economy in a 787 for the first time and it was the most uncomfortable flight I've ever had. Incredibly narrow seats, and way too much cabin noise. I have heard the same thing from other people.

I wish airlines would charge a bit more per seat instead of trying to keep shrinking the seats. As it stands you have to pay a lot extra in many cases to get a comfortable seat.

The dimension of the seats is dependent on the airline. I do not know about the cabin noise.

My 787 experience on ANA was amazing! Probably the most comfortable flight I've ever had.

You must have been on JAL 787. The economy seats there are incredibly tiny. I assume this is because Japanese people are not big.

I've never liked the 747, but i've flown internationally on the 777ER on Delta and Air France. Wonderful experience for the most part.
