Most of the transatlantics are much of a muchness no matter what is painted on the tail or what kind of plane it is (never consider this really, I go for price and comvenience only). The non stop links will make a weekend trip more feasible and less exhausting.
I have leave coming up at the end of the month. New York is my absolutely favourite place but I simply could not face the journey where all I want to do is relax after a hectic summer. So I'm off to good old Spain instead! Had this flight been available I would not have hesitated to book it and couldn't care less. A plane is a plane to me down the back and I wouldn't have even considered it. I see 757s from USA all over Europe.
