I've only sat in front of the 2nd door on 330s (-200 and -300 models) and all over in 767s (-200 and -300) Ventilation noise is what is deafening for the Airbus. >> >> What are the advantages/disadvantages of the A330-200 or B767-300 from a >> >> passengers point of view (charter configuration)?

Never noticed that at all. --==++AJC++==-- > Never noticed that at all. I've only been on 330's a few times but quit often on the 340. Here I have noticed a sound from the ventilation system that I interpret as ice moving about - and that is even on a warm day in Singapore! Never heard that?

I've had nise-cancelling headphones to use on most of the 330 flights. The difference between having and not having these is the roar of the aircon, and this is when the a/c is still at the gate. > probably al just as miserable. 767s could run 8 abreastm 330s 9 abreast, If we assume a seat width of 18in (45.75cm) in charter, that equates to: B767-300 cabin width 4.72cm with 8 seats and two isles of 53cm A330-200 cabin width 5.28cm with 9 seats and two isles of 58cm So even based on the "extra passenger" the A330 still provides more room. If you keep the isles at 53cm, you get seat of 18in on the B767 or 18.46in on the A330-200 uh... your numbers seem to be off by a couple of orders of magnitude. I didn't check the measurements but you have the cabin widths about 2 INCHES - you mean 4-3/4 METRES maybe? > > probably al just as miserable. 767s could run 8 abreastm 330s 9 abreast, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > If you keep the isles at 53cm, you get seat of 18in on the B767 or 18.46in > on the A330-200 > uh... your numbers seem to be off by a couple of orders of magnitude.

That wase some small aircraft - 2 inches wide and seating 9 across! I designed a 9 inch bolt circle in an 8 inch part once ;-) > > uh... your numbers seem to be off by a couple of orders of magnitude.
