777 is my favorite bird. Best air in the sky, due to an advanced filtration system. Good ride, spacious, and lovely to look at. I hope you get to ride on one in your trip to Oz. Lots of 747s and A340s fly Oz routes, too, so there’s no guarantee, but the 777 is the most fuel-efficient big bird making those runs so there’s a good chance you’ll end up on one. The A340 is sweet, too, and perhaps the prettiest commercial airliner. It’s a bit long, though, making for the occasional tail-slam on takeoff if the pilot isn’t careful.

The 777 is a nice plane to ride on. The 757 was always an unpleasant ride.

Pleasant enough ride, but significantly slower on long flights than the Boeing competition.

Just look at those beautiful lines on that 777. True simplicity of design.

I personally have a thing against two engine big planes ever since we lost three coming back to NY from Liberia on a 747.

I flew MIA to Buenos Aires on a 757. Got bumped up to Biz on way down. Was seated next to 88 pound French female ballet dancer.

On way back, last row, non reclining center seat in coach, next to 440 pound Brazilian Sumo wrestler.

Paybacks are hell.
