Very true Scrape, the 737 and 757 share the same cabin cross section. The A318/319/320/321 have passenger cabins 6" wider than the above Boeings.

Perceptions can be a beotch. The A-321 is roughly the same size as a 757 (the A320 is the size of a 737). As well, the 757 and the 737 pretty much share the same fuselage tube which dates back all the way to the 727. There isn't any more room in a 757 than a 737, its just longer.

Qantas flies the 747-400/400ER. BTW, there is no 747-800, the designation is 747-8i for the pax version.

If I recall correct it was UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT RIGHT, B, A, START.
