Which way to go/??
My daughter is going to Germany for an extended stay with my employer's German affiliate.
They are paying for her fare in coach. She could fly on either a 767 or an A333. Which one offers the more comfortable ride and is better for foot space, etc??
Thanks to all

SeatGuru will tell you everything you need to know for many airlines. Keep in mind that different carriers have different configurations for their seating, so what is comfortable on one plane for one carrier will not always be the same for the same plane on another carrier.

Welcome to FT!
How the specific airlines she's considering decided to configure their aircraft, the kinds of seats they use, the distance between rows, the number of degrees of recline, etc., make more of a difference than aircraft type. These are all specified by the airline, not the airframe manufactuer. If she's considering Airline A versus B, a post in (say) Airline A's forum asking if anyone there has also flown B and can compare them would tell you what you want to know.
For the future, a more descriptive subject line would be nice - something like "767 vs. A333 - better in coach?" for this thread.
