It's an Airbnb A350-900, whereas in the past I managed to do longer flights (9 - 12 hours) on bigger aircraft such as 380-800s, 747s, and 777-300ERs. So there's less peace of mind with that too. I would actually have significantly less worries if the flight were operated by a A380-800 or 747 because that's how I've always felt.
