The Airbus A350 has been in service for almost a decade now. I fly on a lot of different airlines and aircraft types, but somehow have still never managed to fly on one!

I've booked several Airbus A350 flights over the past few years. I hear it's a great aircraft and I'd love to fly on one at some point. But each time I attempted to do so, there was either a last-minute aircraft swap or the flight got cancelled due to COVID.

Come to think of it, I also have never flown on an Airbus A318 - although those are a bit harder to find :)

What aircraft type have you never flown on... and do you want to fly it?
 
I’ve never flown an Airbus A340 or a Boeing 757. But, as above, I’d love to fly on a DC3 which to me was the first truly “modern” passenger aircraft.

Here's hoping your record will be off into the sunset before Project Sunrise...

I never jagged a DC10 (thankfully).. edit: nor Concorde ( regrettably).

Did do an Icelandair B757 which I could have done without.

Concorde....alas had a chance but didn't do it. :(
I stepped inside a Concorde…. But flown in an A350 and pretty much most types of Airbus except what’s now the A220.

Probably most Boeing post 707 (not flown in one of those - I think) nor a 747-8.
 
Yes, thought I don't really want to spend the extra money this trip will do it next time........
You could actually do it for 125K QF points one way, Lhr-Jfk or the other way. Just book Ba 1 or 2 in F and voila you were on the Concorde...it was the cost and time to get to Jfk / Lhr from Syd that stopped me...my biggest travelling regret!

My first ever flight was a DC-10

Never rode a B757 - or a B767 come to think of it.

Have done a DC-8, which for me, makes up for it.
 
A wealthy aunt with plenty of spare time, had overseas holidays more often than most, NEVER been on a plane. Didn't stop her regularly visiting the UK.
