The only exception I've ever made to my policy of "if it ain't Boeing I ain't going" are the couple of occasions I've had to fly the A380.

The A380 is comfy but I had one abort on takeoff and have to go out of service.

Needless to say, they didn't have a backup aircraft and competing with 500+ other passengers to get re-booked was a trial.

The A380 assembly line has been eliminated. Several carriers have not renewed their leases because it cost so much per passenger mile. And their size limited the number of airports they could land and be serviced by.
