Today it is like a journey in a bus which flies, and crammed-in too. You just want it to end.
I did a fair bit of lfying in the back of 707-300's. they were pretty good but they were cramped, especially width wise, the storage was poor and who can forget the pull down movie screen at the front ......
Every aircraft I've flown since on long haul has been a very significant improvement
