Best aircraft 🥇
for long-haul flights to Asia

For long-haul flights, the aircraft type can make a huge difference to your overall comfort on board — especially if you’re flying economy.

Cabin layouts and seats can differ, even in the same class, depending on the plane you're on - and that means your in-flight experience can vary, too. The best aircraft have comfier seats with more legroom, bigger overhead compartments, USB charging ports, WiFi connectivity, superior entertainment systems, and a better passenger experience in every cabin.

When booking a flight to Asia, it’s worth spending a few minutes researching the type of aircraft you’ll be flying on. Look for airlines that use wide-body planes designed for long-haul flights, such as:

Airbus A350

Best choice. Known for its advanced air filtration and higher cabin pressure, which enhance overall passenger well-being. Operated by Air France, Finnair, Lufthansa, Qatar Airways, and Turkish Airlines.

Airbus A380

Offers unparalleled spaciousness and amenities like onboard lounges and shower spas in premium classes. Used by airlines such as Emirates, Lufthansa, British Airways, Air France, and Etihad Airways.

Boeing 767

Often features a 2-3-2 seating configuration in economy, reducing the number of middle seats. The largest operators are based in the US (Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, Eastern Airlines), while in Europe it is used by Austrian Airlines, Condor, and TUI Airways.

Boeing 777

Renowned for its wide cabin, it offers a sense of spaciousness and often includes advanced in-flight entertainment options. Used by British Airways, KLM, SWISS, and Turkish Airlines.

787 Dreamliner 

Celebrated for its larger windows and dynamic lighting, designed to help regulate passengers’ circadian rhythms and reduce jet lag. Operated by British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, KLM, LOT, and Norwegian Air.

How to check the aircraft type?

You can easily find out which airplane model you might be flying on. Just visit your airline's reservation page - they usually list the aircraft type when you're booking your ticket.

Additionally, many popular online booking sites allow you to filter search results by aircraft model:

You can also turn to third-party sites like Expert Flyer or SeatGuru.

SeatGuru lets you input your travel date and flight number (or origin, destination) to get a comprehensive seat map. It will provide you with details like aircraft type, baggage policies, seat configurations (width, and pitch by class), plus in-seat amenities like headphone jacks, power adaptors, and Wi-Fi. SeatGuru also highlights the best (in green) and worst (in red) seats on the plane.

Expert Flyer provides similar details plus a handy feature: you can receive email alerts when preferred flights and seats open up.

By making an informed choice, you'll set off on your journey with confidence, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable flight to Asia.
