Sorry to go against the grain, but for me the 757 is not the nicest of planes to fly on as crew.

The area around Doors 2 is always freezing, no matter how high the temperature is turned up.

The amount of condensation that pours from the ceiling panels and drips on passengers on take off and landing.

Not too mention the smell from the toilets on the older models that don't have the suction system.

Having flown on a number of different airlines 757's both as pax and crew, these problems were present at all times.

I will not miss it.

That being said, it was a very versatile and useful aircraft, used on short, medium and long haul routes.
