I believe I have the choice of the 747, 777, or 787? I know that the 787 is the newest, but have also heard it's a bit disappointing in economy? BA also only fly the 787 to Newark, not JFK, and my friend said that JFK is miles better to use.
There isn't any difference in price between the 3 aircraft types, so I was just wondering what you guys thought my best option would be?
Thanks in advance.
I had a go on the BA 788 in economy a few weeks ago to YYZ (Same as EWR basically). Having never flown long haul before, I loved it and had no problems apart from the food. (I'm 6,3ish and young)
The fact is I can't compare it to the 777 or the 747 because I've never been on one. I had read the horrible reviews on the forums and was dreading the flight but I came of the flight being pleasantly surprised. Take from that what you will.
Can't comment on JFK or EWR, never been to either but flying to JFK next week and out of EWR a few weeks later so I'll know then.
