The OZ 747 in F and Y and the 777 in all classes have no nozzles. LH's A320s all have nozzles, LH's 747 have no nozzles in Y.
OZ A332 had no nozzles, QF's and LX' A332s do.
So while there might be a trend which you observed, it is by no means a rule. Maybe you travel in a Boeing dominated market which at the same time favours fresh air outlets. This could influence your observation.
But is it an option with all aircraft? I really hate the smaller Airbus aircraft as the heat is sometimes almost unbearable without the air nozzle when parked on the tarmac.
Not sure if all planes can be fitted with them. Are you sure you mean the smaller Airbusses such as A319/320/321 as all carriers I know operate them with nozzles.
In general I've seen much fewer air nozzles on Asian planes than in North America..
I have this impression too.
I'd personally choose one airline over another if it meant the difference between air nozzles or not, especially on a smaller plane.
Same here - as much as I love the food and the service on OZ, I will try to stay away from them for coach rides.
