Question: if you were taking a flight and the only two options were an A350 or a 787, which would you choose? I’m a pretty big fan of both aircraft types, but (spoiler alert): I think I prefer the Airbus A350 a little more.
This A350 vs 787 comparison video takes a look at a few key categories from the passenger perspective. Which aircraft has the better toilets? Which one has the better windows? The answers to those questions (and more) are within.

    I've flown both. Slight advantage to the A350 because the width of seats are slightly bigger. I've been able to sleep well on both. I like the gimmick of the window dimmer on the 787. I think the A350 is slightly quieter. I noticed it on takeoff especially. But really both are great to fly in.

    Good explanation! But you forgot one thing: A350 also have slightly higher humidity than even the B787, so you arrive even more rested. I've measured inflight noises and A350 is quieter than B787 as well.

    @Tanmay Upasani Absolutely nothing to do with it because most of the time (until the COVID-19 crisis) the 787 won orders against the A350. In other words the A350 has stagnated for years and it has absolutely nothing to do especially since the A350 has inherited orders from the A350 MK1 since 2005. It's just that the 787 is well suited for the market whose size (787) is criticized as being smaller in terms of cabin compared to the A350. But in life you cannot have everything. The 787 Dreamliner is a long haul size never made before while the A350 just takes the triple 7 market (777)

    Scott, Thanks for the huge shoutout! One Japanese viewer left a comment saying that as soon as he or she saw the intro featuring the flight info embedded in your ticket format, this viewer knew that was you Scott. This tells us that airline reviews are watched by people around the world. It was so much fun creating this video because 1) I am a huge fan of your channel and you are one of the aviation KZreadrs that inspired me to start my own channel and 2) this was my first collaboration video with a non-Japanese speaker. I’m glad it was you! When you come to Japan next time to try ANA (or other airlines), people may recognize you at airports 😁

In flight, the wing does flex and curve up, and blocks view when you look out. You clearly don't fly enough to even notice something this basic/common.

Your %100 right though if there's a choice between a particular airline (let's say) Thai airways with an A350 vrs. ANA 787 it's ANA every time. Why? Well because it's the service , food, drinks, and overall way an airline can make you feel that would make me chose them over just my favorite plane type. The 787's are really great airplanes too but for me well just see above. lol. Oh and the video clip of singapore airlines just made me feel sad because I haven't flown them yet ;( Keep up the great work!!!

    The 787 is only popular because of how new it is and all of the hype the media gives it. But, once it gets to 15+ years it won't be new, hot, and modern and instead, the only thing that people will recognize it for will be its narrow seats, low ceiling, and annoying old generation windows. The A350 is a really nice aircraft and it will definitely still be a pleasant plane to fly on after the 10-year mark (just like the A380) because of its wider cabin and taller ceiling mainly.

I book a window seat to see out the window, its kind of the point, and regardless of dimmer settings on the 787 I can see out the window, as opposed to the outdated window shade on the A350. Also when it comes to opening the shades for landing, the 787 gradually increases the light level as opposed to whipping up the shades and getting greeted with the solar death ray instantly rendering you blind for the next 30 seconds.

    Definitely the 787. I've flown on each both directions from JFK-MAD and I've found that the 787 is a little bit quieter and fares better during turbulence in-flight than the '350, mainly due to (I believe) the rear engine cowling having that wavy flare. But to be honest, the sound of the GE's on the 787 during takeoff takes the win.

When it comes to smoothness both are more o less the same. The A350 appears a bit more solid, while the 787 handles turbulences due to its extreme wingflex quite good. The dimmalbe windows are a nightmare. Cabin crew can make a daytime flight to a nightflight arbitrarily. What is the purpose of such huge windows when they are dimmed completly dark during 90 percent of the flight. Even during night flights. No possibility to see orange citylights from the sky and the stars above.

    Good to see you as always. I give my vote to the A-350 mainly because of the ability of the cabin crew to control the windows in the B-787. Talk about triggered! Give a little power to any employee of any company or government office and you know that their proclivity to meanness will come shining through. I have actually screamed along with the KZreadr filming a great shot out of the window when...BAM...the window slowly darkens and the "shot of the flight" is ruined. UGH. 😂. Thanks for entertaining me today and also allowing me to comment about one of my all time pet peeves😊. Keep 'em coming buddy! ♥️🛫🙏🏽🌎

    Haven’t flown the A350 yet but my Boeing experience with United was amazing comfortable seats I liked the dim option it was awesome not to have a seat in front having the light shining straight through while you’re trying to sleep. One thing that no one takes into consideration are landings I’ve flown on A220 A321 A320 via JetBlue and every landing was a hard one. Versus the Boeing aircraft never had an issue always smooth even in rough weather via AA and United.

    I have to rage about the people who hate the 787 windows being controlled by the crew. I was on LOT Polish 787 and the crew did dim the windows, but still gave control to the passengers. That was a mistake. A very few passengers undimmed their windows which created an effect like a pinhole camera and lit up the entire cabin. So I’m for crew controlled windows or lock out the settings up to 50% dimmed.

    I generally agree, but you absolutely have to consider the airline's choice of cabin layout. The same aircraft can be a totally different experience based on that. You have to research the seat pitch and width ahead of time. Also, the JAL 787 infotainment box in the foot resting area was murder from SAN to NRT. I love a window seat, but that has me looking at the middle-aisle seats to save some leg discomfort. No, actual leg pain.

    @@ndlben7129 It is a hit and miss! Again, you don't fly a lot... When you are on the plane and spend more time in the air than on the ground, you will realize how true this statement is. United 787 looks like crap... JAL's 787 fares much better. Because 787 had a weight issue that the design did not achieve original planned operating efficiencies, Boeing told the airline to cut weight. Therefore, really really thin and lightweight seats were created... and 9th seat were inserted in economy to reach the promised per passenger operating efficiency claim. For crappy airlines that added 9th seat and used super thin seats, the experience is terrible. For the top performing airlines, like JAL, they kept the 8-abreast economy for their long haul fleet, and used high quality seats. Therefore, you really do get a very different experience. A350, on the other hand, is very very similarly configured... airline after airline, the experience is similar and very consistent, they all use 9-abreast economy and because of less weight restrictoin, they use higher quality seats, allowing for better passenger comfort.

    I've never flown in an A350 but if I had a choice I would avoid 787, or for that matter, any new Boeing products at all cost. The seats in the economy for 787 are so narrow you'd constantly rub shoulder with whoever sits next to you.. While the dimming windows and curving wings are nice gimmicks, the discomfort from the narrow seats truly makes it a nightmareliner, especially on an international flight that takes over 10 hours.

    Evening Scott, In general, there are things I like about both aircraft and things I dislike about both aircraft. A350 I find to be more legroom/ spacious for passengers. B787 to me has much more comfortable seating. A/C for me sees Boeing install A/C that doesn't make my sinuses ache. Ergonomic layout of the seats, I think Boeing is better. On "sound pollution" I think Airbus have quieter aircraft I think. I look forward to your next video. PS I did stay until the end 😜

    A350 pure and simple. As a proud American and frequent long-haul flyer, I have to swallow my pride. B787 is a good plane compare to the other aging Boeing fleet, but A350 is technically more advanced in every regard. In a practical manner, A350 is also more comfortable for passengers. Having flown both of them frequently, I would definite not fly in Economy on a B787, pure and simple.

It has better bin design, better mood light design... I am an American, but objectively speaking, Airbus put in a lot of efforts to one up on Boeing and it shows... A350 left the factory hitting operating economics but B787 didn't. Much of the B787 savings comes from using super lightweight material in the cabin that airlines were forced to use earlier. Check out the first batch of B787 that are in the sky and you will see how badly they've aged.
