Coffee
I am L-CAL, and I don't drink a lot of coffee, so take this with a grain of salt. The coffee is just too weak. A double bagger, international coffee, crew coffee, cowboy coffee, whatever you want to call it, tastes just fine.

(Oh , and I loved the comfort and quietness of the airbus, but would take the 737 in a gusty crosswind anyday!, so there!)
The A-320 is more comfortable and quiet. The 737 flies like a real life airplane!

In my experience, coach is coach when it comes to comfort. I look to overhead bin size and movies to separate the planes. I also avoid seats that don't recline. Avoid planes/rows that have the back couple rows narrower due to the fuselage narrowing. I wondered what each plane's seat width actually was, so I looked it up.
BE1900 20.5"
CRJ200 17"
ERJ145 17.3"
ERJ70 18.2"
A320 18"
737's 17.2"
747 17"
757 17"
767 17.9"
777 18"
787 17.3"
Pretty much all the same. I'll take the extra inch though. Not for my hips, but my shoulders. Two guys next to each other in coach can get uncomfortable. Of course, the Beech 1900 wins for seat width. Who'd have thought the smallest plane is the most comfortable (seat width wise)?
