I always feel more comfortable in a wide chord wing aircraft than a narrow chord wing . And in turbulence I'm always happy if im in a boeing than an airbus

Singapore Airlines expects commercial Airbus A350 flights to begin in March or April following delays to delivery of the first aircraft, which was previously expected this month.

Cathay Pacific will begin flying the advanced Airbus A350 to Auckland in the second half of this year, although Australia is unlikely to see the fuel-efficient jetliner until 2017.

I flew A359 from Doha to Philadelphia
Cabin ambiance was good...
washrooms were good
Seats were bit uncomfortable
Overhead bins were excellent
Good size tinted windows

Not bad for a 14 hour flight
