Im flying out to the US next month using miles and was thinking of flying back and trying Air Canada for a change. Ive noticed that on a couple of routes they have the a330 which are now filled with the new seats. The only reason I ask if that I recently flew US Airways and Qatar Airlines all in the same month both on a330's and there was a massive difference.

Was looking to get on one of the new 777's back to London, but there are none of the dates I wanted.

Is it still worth flying on the 767 or a330?
The 333 is not really an old plane. The 763 is.

This said, looking at the cabin, the difference between the brand new 777 and the 333 and even the 763 is not so obvious.

Of course, the toilets in the 763 are where you can tell there age.

But anyway, I go by what they have to offer. More like, can I find a low business class fare, or an upgrade, at a price that I can pay for? Much more important to me than the plane type.

Plus, all things being equal, a smaller plane is always better than a bigger one. So basically, the tradeoff is between newer, larger planes, and older, smaller ones. But all with virtually the same cabin.
