One that takes off and lands. That said I probably more frequently use Airbus as that is the plane of choice of Vueling who I use to fly to Spain fairly often. |

Damn! In that case I'll go for Tupolev, Mikoyan or Ilyushin.
No, scrub that: I'm going for AirFix. |

Absolutely no idea what the make is of any aeroplane I've travelled on so no preference at all. I sit in my seat, it takes off, lands and I get off.
Actually, which one is likely to have less turbulence, that'll be the one for me, if that's even possible. |

Out of the two I always prefer airbus. Not because I know much about planes, just because they always seem quieter and roomier. I mean like for like, as in 737 v A320 etc. also, when I flew in an A380 it was just luxury and silence at 36000 feet.
The best though has got to be the smaller embraer’s that fly out of city airport. Those things shift! Great fun!

Depends in what sense?
Working with them or flying in them.
Narrow body planes, then it would be airbus. The holds are slightly taller, les hatches to check in a wakk round and one steering bypass pin does most of them.
From a pushing and towing aspect, I would go with Boeing. They never had stupid 60 degree steering limits on the nose gear wheels. |

Whichever sense you like. |

I only ever handled a Tupolev once, it is a converted bomber to passenger aircraft. The pilot had to ipen the hold door with a key, also they had a political officer on the deck the while time the plane was being turned around. |

I used to prefer Boeing, the 777 and the 787 are beautiful … though I never really liked the 737 nor the 757-767.
And of course you have the Jumbo 747, Queen of the Skies!
But after seeing/flying in simulator/flying the A350 as a passenger, I am converted to Airbus. What a gorgeous aircraft.  |

I really enjoyed the 747 ! But A380 was better 
I’ve also been on the 787 Dreamliner but was disappointing , and maybe the 777 from Tokyo to Hong Kong , but as I was in business I enjoyed every second of it!
(But maybe it was a 787 I don’t remember) |

I generally prefer airbus over Boeing.
Airbus produces planes that are genuinely nice and sophisticated. In the last 10 years, the improvements over Boeing has only grown (by a lot)
I know I am going to be the odd one out - but for sheer comfort and space A380 wins over 747 for me. I am a fan of curves too
Whoever named it Air’bus’ didn’t think of all the weekly commutes that people do in Europe |

The original Boeing was a real company ,when it first started out with airliners.
Then greed took over ,the board changed ,and the name Boeing was no longer associated with quality. Speed of manufacturing became more important to keep up with emerging competiters,and their iconic HQ location was also uprooted.
