When I have the choice should I choose traveling on an Airbus 340/330 or a Boeing 777?

Accepted answer

This is going to vary strongly from carrier to carrier because as far as I can tell what really matters is how long it's been since the interiors were refurbished (a process airlines do one plane model at a time) and whether the route is considered important by the airline. Sure, you can make some overall opinions about narrowbody (one aisle) vs widebody (two aisles) but not much else. Power, inflight entertainment, and even just the upholstery are all going to matter as much as layout.

If I was travelling alone on AirCanada, I would go with the 330 because two of the three banks of rows have no "middle seat". If I was travelling as a family of three, that same difference would cause me to reject the 330. I guess maybe a family of four would prefer the 330 since you could get two rows of two and have two windows and a little family cluster. However I'm only 5'4" and my shortness is all in my legs, so a 31" pitch doesn't scare me. It might be more of an issue for you.

Personally, I wouldn't base my decision based on A330 vs 777 but on the Carrier's service and reputation, and their in-flight entertainment offering.
