An (un)professional, (un)serious, (un)scientific and totally unbiased comparison of the Airbus A320ceo and the Boeing 737-800
I have a very short 1100km commute from home to my college. As much as I'd love to set a new endurance walking record, time constraints and bodily limitations usually force me to search for alternative means of transport. The iron roads of the Indian Railways are dependably undependable, especially when the fog rolls in as winter snuggles into it's covers up North. So, this time, I chose to fly from home to college. This simple task was made complicated by Pratt and Whitney's PW1100G Geared Turbofan Engines being not so hot, so it would involve 2 flights, and a 6 hour layover in between. However - the aviation enthusiast in me was delighted. For, the aforementioned GTF engines had forced my friendly neighbourhood airline IndiGo to wet-lease aircraft from a variety of sources - Corendon Airlines, Qatar Airways and SmartLynx Estonia, as far as I know. This meant that the ordinary hop in one of any A320/A321neos could now be accomplished on a veritable smorgasbord of options!...
