hmnnn i got the info from G-INFO

I used to be an Eng at MAEL in the late 90's. Quite shocking to see they STILL operate the same 300's now.

I disagree about the aircraft age thing. It does matter as far as i am concerned. I was quite shocked after a trip to Vegas last year on BA 744 G-BNLE to find the airframe dates from 1989. No wonder it was so tired looking.

Compare that to a trip i recently took to Dubai on an A388, well, there er really is no comparison. Quieter, comfortable, roomy and had a general feel of quality about it. All age related? Definitely.

So age may not matter to some pi$$ed up holiday maker but it certainly matters to me. I should imagine i am not alone.
All my opinion of course
