Do you guys skip Boeing planes when booking flights?

Curious around 737 max specifically

Yep I skip
No, I book whatever is convenient

I don't mind spending 1-2 k extra to be on the airbus fleet.

Same - and that's what I've been thinking about Perhaps this is the first time I hear from multiple folks that 1-2k extra is fine.

I am sure this affects Akasa, Air India Express at some level

I know the odds of anything happening is still very small, but just doesn't feel right to take a Boeing anymore

So if airbus is 3k more, you'd stick to boeing ? So your life is worth 2k but not 3k?

You have an equal chance of dying in India, doesn't matter if its boeing or airbus - the technician who maintains the aircraft isn't well paid or conforms to OEM standards

Recently I paid 3k extra to travel in Airbus.
BTW I am a tight spender 🤣... Someone who prefers to walk a km instead of taking the auto for 40Rs.

now walk 75 km and save 3k again, balance things out

Go for Indigo. Most of their planes are from Airbus only

I always book airbus even if price is 3k higher for domestic.

Travelled in Indigo in the past few years, so never got the opportunity to do this 😭

Fun Fact: I somehow know how to cold start a Boeing 737-800, but not an Airbus A320 😭😭

Yes it feels scary being on a boeing plane especially during turbulence

There is a documentary on netflix that details out their wrong doing
