The A380 is not quite the beauty from the outside, but I found the pax comfort unparalleled, and that matters more to me than how it looks, frankly.

This. I, and almost every regular longhaul international flyer I see on comments/forums online say its the favourite experience inside the shell.

The 350 and the 777x may rank alongside. The 787 is only good in superior classes.

The 380 is by far the smoothest, quietest experience in the air for >10h flights.

I’ve loved the ride in the 380 since it first took to the skies, but the A350-900 more recently took my #1 spot for overall passenger comfort, particularly atmospheric (and therefore sleep) quality. 350 > 380 > 787 > 747 imo

I don't like the PaxEx in the 787. It feels narrower and more cramped.

A380 -> A330/A340 (on account of the 2-4-2 arrangement) -> 767 -> 777 for me.

I used to think the A380 was quiet... until I flew on an A350.

I've been on both the -900 and -1000 variants, and they are just amazingly quiet.
