The Boeing 777X vs The Airbus A380 - What Plane Wins? 

Hit the nail on the head when saying airlines might not like the a380 (due to operational costs) but passengers love it. Its the most comfortable plane I have ever flown on. It feels so spacious in 10 abreast economy, plus its super smooth and quiet.

simple flying on the 787 : many people don’t like flying on the 787 me: large windows , quiet cabin and those cool chevrons. what’s not to love

The A380 is definitely the better plane when it comes to choice, even though it is a quad jet it still better in carrying passenger numbers from A-B. but then again the 777 has the better technology now. I would love to fly on the A380 again before they are all phased out. in future there will only be one option. the 777-9X. also the A380 is less fuel efficient due to its seize and engines numbers.

I haven't flown a 777 yet, but the A380 was so quiet. It was wonderful.

One thing they didn't mention is airport availability (unless I missed it). The A380 is very limited to the airports it can fly into. While they 777x with the fold up tips will be able to fly into nearly all major airports. I'm lucky enough to have seen it fly as we live in the testing area. It will be a nice addition to the commercial skies for sure. As far as comfort goes. That is subjective. I think airlines that use the A380 put a lot of effort making it a premier flying experience. A320 vs 737. They both are just buses in the sky. Comfort is not a major concern for most carriers.

119 A380s?!!?!!? holy cow

I was surprised to hear the 787 Dreamliner isn’t popular with passengers. I have honestly never heard any complaints about them.

The 777x is the successor to the 777-300Er and that plane is not ready to be replaced yet so it makes sense that the 777x will come in the near future so by the time they role of the production line airlines will have a suitable replacement for 747-400s and 777-300Er

A380 cabin width is 6.6m, not 5.8m as identified in your table. It’s significantly wider than the 777X cabin.

Love your videos, thank you 👌

0:30 - 0:35 I would board on whichever I booked my ticket on.

The A380 was designed for a hub and spoke system. Boeing was right at the time; airlines and passengers were moving to a point to point organisation, avoiding change overs and flying directly to their destination. Boeing designed the 787 instead, that was spot on. The A380 was twenty years to late. The airbus engineers had envied the 747 for so long, they designed a better plane for a vanishing market. No doubt, airlines will progressively retire the A380 once they receive the 787, A350 and 777x in sufficient numbers to do so. There is no future for triple or quadruple engine planes. Then can't compete on efficiency.

I remember an article in a specialized magazine that tried to predict the future of air travel. Two ideas are represented; according to the first, everything should have remained the way air traffic has been organized since the 60s and 70s of the last century, but airline companies only should flew more efficient and less noise/Co² poluting planes. Another approach envisioned a smaller number of large aircraft transporting large number of passengers from large and commercially viable long-haul airports to similar-sized airports on other continents. In addition to these large transport hubs, there were also medium-sized transport hubs within the all aray of transport hubs, from where passengers would be fly to their final destination in a smaller airport by smaller or medium-sized aircraft, depending on the number of passengers or cost efficient lines. The number of passengers would stabilize after some time and serve as a "measuring tool" for airlines and, along with other market trends, would help airlines select new aircraft models according to passenger capacity, fuel consumption and application of new technologies. It seems to me that Airbus predicted the future of global air traffic much better, but that is why Boeing focused on the production of medium-sized aircraft.

The 777X if it released, it has previous generations and a freighter. Nice video. Keep up the good work.

I fly Emirates Saigon, Dubai, London or Birmingham routes, the Saigon Dubai leg is on a B777, and the second leg is on an A380. Both outbound and inbound are overnight flights and so my body wants sleep. The A380 business seating package is the best I've used, with the 777 more coffin like and does not allow for turning with ease. Also, it's a two-seat arrangement on the window sides of the aircraft. The A380s bar is great to wander to and have a beer standing at the bar. Sadly, Emirates do not offer the A380 on the Saigon leg.

As has been said, none of us can know what the 777X will be like for passengers. My order of preference of existing aircraft type would be: 1. A380 2. A350-900 3. 777-300ER 4. A330-300 5. B787-9 When I fly, it’s ultra-long haul. Even though the 787 is pressurised to a lower altitude and has better climate control than some of these older aircraft, it just feels very small inside.

I'll hop on the A380. I'm just a more airbus guy and i find the A380the most comfortable ever (3-4-3 economy ) seconding my opinion is the A350-900/900ULR(3-3-3 economy) Its just its memories in the A380that will never draw me away (My first flight wasin a Singapore A380 since then ive flown it 12 times)

For A380 as long as they able to make a full capacity for everyflight then it is worth it. When it come 777x based on papers the efficiency is the very key of this type, even if the plane is not full cap. it is still has positive income since the overall plane make it cheaper for maintenance too.

The Boeing 777X short takeoff is amazing, measuring 251 feet, the aircraft can seat 426 passengers in a standard two-class configuration, and is longer than both its predecessor the 777-300ER (242 feet 4 inches) and the Airbus A350-1000, which has a length of just over 242 feet. There are are other good features that has to be seen in person.

It would be gread to see a a380 wit 2 engins in the future

Most passengers hate the 787? What are you guys smoking over there.

We just want 2-4-2 configuration aircrafts. That's all we ask for.

please tell me turbulence comparison between the two, i am flying in 3 days , and really nervous. is A380 better than boeing in terms of turbulence due to its big size?

From an economy passenger's perspective (annual trips from Australia to UK and back), the A380 is quieter and smoother than anything else. The old 777ER was nearly as good. The 787 is somewhat behind - the only plane that has ever made me throw up in turbulence. And yes, when booking this year's flights, aircraft type was important.

I do love these comparison video’s, there is of course a massive difference between the two, the A380 is flying around the world successfully and without any controversy over its certification. The B777x however is not yet certified, if the current war between Boeing and the FAA is anything to go by, it might not be certified, if it is eventually certified it might just have missed the boat as far as long range high density travel is concerned as most operators have already gone for either the A380 or the A350.

Planes like the 777-300ER are still fairly new and performing well. Once airlines need to retire these Im sure they’ll be more than happy to switch to 777X.

08:15 - Since when has the Dreamliner become unpopular with passengers? Am I missing something here??

The B777x was developed as a replacement of the B777-200 primarily and the B747-400, but since the decision of many airlines to retired early the A380, then the B777X have become the best option currently in the market. If Boeing decides to launch the B797 as the replacement for both the 757 and 767, then Airbus will not have much options to offer but to keep upgrading theirs planes to make them Neo with more efficient engines and new wings.

One airplane has already been retired and the other is still riding on a promise. How long its comeback lasts could depend on the confidence in the other to prove it’s worth the wait.

For passengers, hands down the A380 dominates. With the much higher demand these days and the lack of crew and ramp service, these two along with the Queen of the skies will be in need fortunately. Emirates already asked for an updated A380! Kinda makes you think if the A321XLR is the right choice for legacy carriers...

A380 definitely wins our hearts & memories

boeing have a winner once again coming to the market 777-9 ,8 wow.

Ones in production and the others production has ended. Seems that would be a point to bring up in this video.

It’s not just fuel consumption but maintenance of twice as many engines…

You should try and get some more background music, only 2 or 3 library music tunes that run on loop in every video

When the B777x comes out, it will be the King of the Skies, just like it’s two predecessors, the Queen of the Skies in the B747, and the Princess/Prince of the Skies in the B787. Can’t wait for it’s eventual roll out (5 years behind). But the pandemic sort helped Boeing by 2 years

We must continue explore all avenue to space and large airplane is closest beginning. Dare to dream will either make it or break us while making us

the 450-500 passenger twin jet single deck plane called the Airbus A370 will enter service in 2035 and it will run on 100% SAF.

A380 looks like a military aircraft and flying on Emirates cattle class or business class is a fantastic experience.

I must try to fly onboard the A380 as soon as possible but time will tell me. Unfortunately, Malaysia Airlines and China Southern Airlines will be retired there A380s by the end of 2022

What is the background music?

A thinly-veiled Boeing advert? I look forward to comparisons when the 777X has been flying a while. It just goes to show how eagerly awaited the 777x actually is.

I like the a380 more because it’s amazing how such a big thing is taking off. In my mind the a380 looks just better.

Hi there , please sync the subtitles up with the video . Thank you!

380s are more popular with the passengers but the operators hate them.

The video and audio files are about Boeing 777X versus A380. The text file has nothing to do with the video, it's all about 777X versus A350 and other planes. Weird.

This will shock most of you to hear this; the 777X is only 9 ft longer than a 777-300 ! It has a larger capacity it would seem by cramming more seats in. It’s not some super large plane, nothing like an A380 which has an extra 100 seat capacity over the 777X It’s also note worthy that the new GE9X power units produce *less* thrust than the GE90-115b units that are fitted to the dash 300 fleet.

If Emirates likes the A380 and makes money flying it they can add slightly-used aircraft to their fleet by purchasing at a discount from other airlines that are retiring the model. That could be a better deal financially than adding the new 777X.

I just hope Boeing don't pull off a large scale 737MAX on the 777X

I am surprised by the fuel cost charts u used As i prefer max capacity of fuel tanks/typical capacity passengers/ max distance that will give liter(gallon or kg) per passenger per km( or miles)

Whats up with those captions. Weird

A single deck wide body passenger jet can never win over a double decker wider body A 380, which features attractive upper deck amenities.

Not the same. It’s 777X vs 350-1000. That was the Qantas competition Operation Sunrise. The A-350 won. Non stop flights Sydney - London Heathrow.

A830 !!!!!!!!! i hope it doesnt go nowhere it was the smoothest plane ive been on

While I have onlt been on the A380 once I loved it and I did fly 3 long haul on 777 to compare while not 777x likey not much change

You can't compare two planes that are so vastly different in capacity. To even suggest the 777X is "as good as" an A380 is hilarious.

Boeing put profits ahead of human lives. I will always fly Airbus if I can help it. I wish southwest would switch to Airbus

thank you for using takeoff mass instead of takeoff weight.

I would get on the one that was flying to where I wanted to go to. The one I have a ticket for. I’m not sure you understand how airports work.

Boeing should be thankful that the 777x didn't enter service in 2020. The would have been a horrible time for a new long haul high demand/capacity plane to enter service given the restrictions brought on by the pandemic.

pax can be misused. It is not yet airplane characteristic like number of seats but might be a sign of misusing the plane, or simply - using it in the wrong routes, isn't it?

im going to hop on the 777x

You forgot Lufhansa also bought many 777x planes

Having flown both within a week of each other, A380 is much better for the passenger

OK, me as a passenger. Why should I care about a few consumption of a plane? I’m not the one paying for it.

Airbus can produce new aircraft by using the a380,remove the upper deck make the plane just two engine and keep the size..so it will be A370,orA390.

8:16 "...a plane that airlines like, but many passengers don't." I have not flown on a B787 Dreamliner. So I ask, what do passengers not like about the Dreamliner?

I think you are missing Cathay Pacific in the 777x orders

I wonder if A380 with a new wing design and engines might improve its economics at a reasonable cost. If this was the case then 77X might be less atractive. What about a double deck A350?

The confort of any plane is related to the airline company owning the plane. If is Singapore Air the confort should be superb…if the company is a local Japanese company doing flights low cost, they can pile up 40% more passenger into it. I am an ex Boeing Tech and there is not this plane is better than this other one…the end product out of the assembly line is a plane with an empty shell that is waiting for the seating arrangement ordered by the airline company.

There is no comparison. They are two vary different types of aircraft.

How can you compare a aircraft that doesn't exist to a aircraft that should never have existed?

Wow hard to say.

777x is Coming, when?!?

8:23 Passengers don't like the Dreamliner?!?!? How suprising.

In time Boeing will come out with 777-10 due to demand from rising passenger long haul volume. That one will seat 450+ and ease transition some from retiring a380…I bet this will occur

Boeing can t beat never against Airbus when it comes to safety

A380 by far. It is in service, it's flying daily. Boeing is five years late into service.

Boeing 777-8 and 777-9 easily.

Having flown on both of these aircraft the A380 is a RollsRoyce. The 777 is an updated 1960 Ford. One is large, quiet and smooth. The other noisy and cramped. If you don’t agree you are just a key board aviator who has NEVER BEEN IN AN A380.

7777x hands down. Fuel efficiency along gets Boeing the win. Also passengers want more frequency and direct flights. A380 is too large for most non hub to hub flights. This isn’t even close.

But you forgot that the A380 thanks to its capacity has lower fuel burn per passenger than the 777X.

To summarize A380 vs 777 debate: Passengers - A380 Airlines - 777

a380

A380

B777_9x ,73mert

A380 definitely *WON* because 777x not yet show up for competition.

777

An older airframe in service is better than two airframes on an order book. News of the A380’s death was premature.

Just flown 777 from London to Bangkok and back economy class. Nightmare. Very cramped within the aircraft and only having one door to enter and exit the aircraft is awful. Give me the A380 widebodied spacious four engines over the 777 any day.

A380.

Fuel comparisons should be on a per seat basis, not aircraft mass.

Steam jet with taking water from space and air is best choice and alternator motor fueless generator will compress air into water and heat it into steam and inject it into jet engine impro thrust

cathay pacific fly 777x is better

777X could fly around the world.

The A380 makes the most of scarce airport slots.

777x

A380 .....or ......the stablemate of the 737max , the 777 , eerrrmmm....let me think ,

A380 hands down

Boeing 777X is a better plane. But Airbus A380 gives a more enjoyable ride
