Windows can have a surprisingly large impact on the passenger experience, with modern aircraft increasingly designed to let in plenty of natural light, improve mood, and create a genuine sense of space, even in the often cramped conditions of economy class. Large, well-placed windows can transform a long-haul flight, offering passengers a clearer view of the sky and creating a more open, airy feel inside the cabin. In this article, we will take a closer look at the size of the windows on both the Airbus A350 and the Boeing 777-300ER, comparing which aircraft offers the more generous window size.…

Etihad Airways will begin flying its double-decker Airbus A380 widebody quadjets from its main hub at Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH) to Japan’s Tokyo Narita Airport (NRT) next summer. From mid-June, the ‘superjumbo’ will serve this route on a daily basis during some of the year’s busiest months. A key development that will enable this capacity upgrade on the route from Abu Dhabi to Tokyo Narita will be the UAE flag carrier’s reactivation of an eighth Airbus A380, as it continues to increase the type’s usage throughout next year. While, unlike some of the A380s operated by rival UAE airline…
