  I’ve never flown in an Airbus, in the EU. It’s all Boeing or tiny propeller planes.

    shorthaul or longhaul?

    I think its about 50% on Europe to Europe flights

      That matches with our experience from the US to the EU. Long haul is about 50/50 IIRC, you have to hunt a little bit to be sure the flights you book are Airbus

        You have to check each flight for long haul. My SO did a round trip from the US west coast to Germany recently for work and something like 2/3 of the Lufthansa flights were Airbus, the rest were Boeing

  We’ve had mixed results with Lufthansa. It was absolutely stellar but they’ve had their share of avoidable sadness.

  We like icelandair now because of (normally) the overnight stop near keflavik and they’re usually really pleasant people.
