You are right. Yes, skylinner my foot lol I meant dream liner.

Not been to the usa few years but been about 10 tiems over 23/25 years and as our son books the ticks I think its the Thomas cook flights that have more legroom and leather seats

You are corect re depends on routes.

we went to india came back just before the March 2020 lockdown we used air Indian as people said food was excellent as well as hosting and it was the dreamline - we choose were we can the Dreamliner, 747 or emirates double deckers

Enjoy

Irony: a person on the travel forum of a money saving website saying he won't fly certain airlines if they were to pay him to do so.

Thanks. I'm all for saving money and the reason we left work early, paid off our mortgage early and was considering a BTL but may not is 'money-saving.' However, there is a limit how far I'd go when trying to save, make money and flying on certain airlines even if it was for free is one of them.

I’m only joking. I’m the same. 

There’s some potato and corn based hooped snacks I won’t eat even if you paid me to. 

There’s a limit and I’ve heard bad things about them from some people I know who have tried them before.

Thanks for the update appreciated as I wrongly assumed you was being serious like quite a few here.
I can see where you are coming from and for me, us its birdseye fish fingers, Heinz beans,  Walls sausages can't eat like any other brands

Having said that, Rich Tea biscuits changed from Macvities to Tesco's own brand less than half price and just as tasty.

Enjoy your day.

Your choice of airlines that operate the 747 is pretty small these days.

As a frequent flier I have had excellent and poor service from both “budget” airlines and what others would consider “premium “ operators.

Transatlantic I tend to avoid American Airlines as have experienced very sloppy service on several occasions.

Travelling to Asia you simply can’t beat Singapore Airlines whilst Emirates (A380) is my choice when visiting family in the UAE.

But for pootling round Europe I find the budget airlines perfectly adequate and generally great value for money,

Would love a trip on a “Skyliner” but unfortunately I can’t seem to find any airline that operates such an aircraft 😂

I've had similar experience. Even for longer flights (mainly to Georgia) I'm happy to sit on Wizz for 2 flights, more so if we can get a 4 hour flight for sub-€10 (paid £40pp return in January with WDC). I'd happily go around the world on LCCs, although I appreciate most wouldn't be.

The Dreamliner (which I assume OP was referring to) is the worst aircraft I've ever flown in, especially in a 9 across configuration.

The OP flew easyJet so no Dreamliner.
Another poster mentioned that awful plane as a preference.
