Airbus A321 vs Boeing 737-800?

There’s nothing. Both are narrow fuselage aircraft (or standard fuselage aircraft, the term is narrow fuselage, since there are large fuselage aircraft, that is since the 70s) and about the same size. What you get from the flight is the same. To be exact: Even with large-hull aircraft you don’t notice so much difference. Only turboprops like Dash-8 or ATR can be seen in the noise.

The interior is heavily dependent on the airline and the booked class. comparing a business-Only A320 from Qatar Airways (can be booked for a lot of money from London to Doha) with an Ryanair-737 in cattle transporter pack density would be really unfair. You get what you pay for. The more people in there, the cheaper the ticket.

How far the seats are apart, whether there are boarding entertainment… all depends on the airline. The short distances, whether Lufthansa, Germanwings/Eurowings, Airberlin, Iberia, Aer Lingus… don’t give up much. Seats okay, Bordentertainment doesn’t need it on such short distances (just exciting I find the new Eurowings system via WLAN, but movies are paid and sewn thinly). Also with the Asians I was already on the go (Air Asia, Tiger Air, Malaysia, Cebu). It’s all right. Whether 737 or A320. Only Ryanair is a special experience in terms of proximity to fellow travellers and their seats and the special type of on-board entertainment (selling the loud fanfare when the flight arrives on time)

Nominal values

• The A350 is very quiet and very confident even in turbulence. But even this is just as spacious as the airline wants it. Qatar Airways and Cathay Pacific are quite groundbreaking.
• The Dreamliner (787), just like the old DC8, which is no longer flying in passenger mode, has an electric air conditioning system with electric air compression instead of tap air from the engines. Some claim that the air would actually be better (but what is a rumor, as the bleeding air always comes from the clean secondary stream and is filtered again)
• In some airlines, the 737 is being retrofitted with the aerodynamically more efficient and thus sprit-saving Split Scimitar Winglets, which should be for the 737-Max series, which has a certain optical coolness factor.
• Trijets like the DC10/MD11, usually only flying in cargo mode, or the L1011 TriStar, which has now disappeared completely from the image area, are the most elegant thing that the jet age has produced for me.
• With a historical propeller machine (DC3, L1049 Super Constellation, Ju52), gaaaaaaaaaaal is probably different from modern turboprops and jets;-) but at most it is still a round flight (the Breitling Super Constellation is also on my To-Do list).
