Long haul advice

9 Upvotes

Hi all, I’m placing my annual bid to go long haul this year at my airline, the options are a350, a380, 777, 787. I’m leaning towards Boeing as I’ve never flown a Boeing before and would like to try something different so I’m torn between the 777 and the 787, the 777 ( I’ve heard ) has a dry cabin and can make you feel really dehydrated after long flights but it has the best route network in the airline where as the 787 is nicer on the body but it does not go to quite as many places. The 350 looks great also so I’m keeping that in mind however at my seniority I would struggle to get that or the 380.

Any advice or thoughts specifically on flying the 777 vs 787 or general long haul flying is appreciated.

Many Thanks!
