There is not a better jumbo in the sky than the good old reliable 747. No cracking wing spars, all systems which can be controlled by the crew at their beckoned call.
Next to the 727-100 none better than the 747... an airplane a pilot can fly like a Cessna 182... unlike the other jumbo built for those special needs types.
But I must still raise my glass of VSOP to the trust worthy, old reliable, true blue 727.

With the new lie-flats the upper deck is like your own private jumbo jet. Did it JFK - TLV earlier this year and it was amazing. I usually don't wax poetic about biz class but this was probably the nicest in-flight experience I've ever had.

Economy Class Seating on a Pan-Am 747 Retronaut | Retronaut - See the past like you wouldn't believe.
My favorite part may be the NO seat belts.
