The plane model dorkery in this thread is amusing :lol:
Never once in my life have I paid attention to the plane model number
thats cause you're not an aviation fan.
I've been one my whole life. I used to park next to 13L at JFK with my scanner and watch them come in for landing and take off. Pre 9/11 of course. Can't get enough. Thats why I'm so excited about flying the A380
I'm not a big aviation fan. I just like to be comfortable. I try to make note of what plane I'm flying on so that when I'm picking seats on future flights I know what to expect. With my size even getting a seat with extra leg room doesn't make for a comfortable flight, it just makes it more bearable. So every little bit helps.
I don't have much hope of ever flying 1st class, so I'll just have to optimize coach as best I can...
