The sweeping designs of modern aircraft are very attractive, indeed.

Aircraft interior designs have come a long way as well...

Airbus is even selling neat Carbon-Fiber-themed gifts in their ' !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! '...

Are they really that attractive? I don't find them unattractive, and the wing-shapes are certainly nice, but on the whole, they're really not much to look at. They're very inoffensive, efficient, productive blobs.

In first and business class, son... and those were always magnificent. You'd better go get a picture of this plane's cattle class too, for better equality.

Even cattle class has improved in terms of ergonomics, fit, finish, and aesthetics... The interior materials have come a long way... It will take a few years of interior overhauls and new planes introduced into the fleets to be more noticeable.

Yeah, but it's still an Airbus.

If it's not Boeing, I'm not going.
