I have to agree with everyone re the A380, it is noticeably quieter than anything else around at the moment by some distance. The 777 I find a little noisier, but I am lucky to do most of my flying from up stairs or by turning left on long haul (over 5hrs in my company) so it is not as bad as from behind the wing. 330 I generally find to be quieter than its Boeing counterpart, however most of my 330 time has been with EK who's seating even in Business is a little parsimonious shall we say, so not a favourite, and 340 are much the same, although I do like the way they look. As for 787, I flew on an early one Tokyo - HK and apart from the size of the window, it was not a game changer for me, and I have not flown in one since. Mixtures post on the economics I found interesting, and sheds some light on how much say the bean counters have compared, with their clients !
