the 338 is just a different seat layout than the standard 300. I have no idea what the EUD means though.

the 300 is about 23 years old, not old for a commercial aircraft. you should have a very nice and smooth flight... err, flights

and although your ticket says stretch jet, it is not. The upper cabin is stretched out further than the previous versions of the aircraft, but it is not a stretched jet. Those aren't out yet. they just put that in there to impress you

well I know the 47-300 is a good aircraft. the -300 like Fuzzness said is maybe a differnt config. on seating and others. Yes the upper part is longer then the -200 and -100's.

With the 747-400 it is same airframe as the -300 but they added winglets (to help reduce horozontal vortexs) and they help improve drag and more fuel ecomony. Also on the -400 they have Fuel tanks in the back on the horozontail stabs. That is why they can go longer distance. Say if Aussie was on a 747-400 she could go to Syn to Lax without stopping for more fuel.

Both soild planes. I as a aviation maintenance tech, I am bias towards boeing planes. they are better built.

I basicly call the airbus family of planes. .Throw away planes. cause they are cost too much to fix when is time for heavy Maintenance checks. It is cheaper to buy a new plane then overhaul it.
