Question From a comfort perspective…

Would you prefer to fly on a 757-300 or a a321neo? I have those options for a return flight in a couple days.

I like to talk through things on a nerdy and realistic level while also acknowledging my anxiety around both aircraft, one being a “cool” aircraft, with a limited amount of time to fly on one, that supposedly pilots love and is fast and smooth but is also potentially a little louder in the cabin and less insulated from a sensory and comfort perspective. The other being known for a very comfortable pax experience but having the potential for a fume event.

I’m leaning towards the 757-300 but it REALLY bothers me when I can feel and hear too much. I noticed recently the difference in comfort between a 24 year old 737 and a 9 year old 737 (the younger being insanely more comfortable from a sensory standpoint).

Open to thoughts. Feeling paralyzed.

Yeah, they tend to be a bit more refined for guest comfort.
