I've never flown on anything bigger than a 722. Lots of 737s, MD80/DC9/717, and A320 derivatives, but never 757, 767, etc... Would love to fly in a DC10...

I've managed to fly a few hundred thousand miles in the past several years and never been on a 747. I'd love to fly one.

Frankly I don't care about the aircraft type if the trip is not paid for by myself (e.g. on business trips). Then my major cares are punctuality, flight time and number(or lack of) connections.
Things look different when I am flying for leisure - I try to get some new and/or exotic aircraft types under my belt. This year I managed to add the F-50 and F-70 to my "collection".

I am a frequent flyer with American Airlines and that means I spend a lot of time on MD-80s. Which, I have never really grown tired of flying on. I love the aircraft, and believe it is far more comfortable than an A320 or 737! Nonetheless, variety is the spice of life. Personally, I would like to fly on a Boeing 717 to do a little comparisan to its older brother.

I wouldn't say I was bored with flying the same types of aircraft but I would like to have flown on dozens of different types like some people have. My 'collection' is in my profile.

from the inside of the passenger cabin, all aircraft from any one airline often look pretty much the same.
Same seats, same FAs, same food (or what passes for it sometimes).
Only real difference is the size of the overhead lockers and the number of seats fitted.
Only differences would be aircraft used on intercontinental routes, which usually have better seats to cater to the fact that the passengers will be in them for a far longer time, and aircraft slated to be retired soon (which may well not have been upgraded with the latest new cabin to save money).
But even then, there is often little difference between types within an airline.

I travel a lot for work and most often fly Continental. I love them but the 737 is getting a little old. It always seems like I am on one (-300, -500, -700, or the -800). I actually have never been on one of the -900's yet, but that will not excite me much since I suspect the interiors and look are all the same.

I never get tired of the 717. I have flown on the 717 eight times, and all flights were wonderful. I flew on 2 DC9s in 1999. and I flew on 2 A320s with jetBlue last month. I just want to get on N77014 though while it is still in Peter Max Scheme.

Flightlevel,
I already understood the economics of flying the 737 and the A320, I was just making the point that it does tend to get a bit boring flying the same aircraft type all the time.
To be fair I have flown a few different aircraft types,

Because my mom works for AA whenever I go away its on American. So 99% of the time its an MD-80. Because I usually fly first class you really cant get tired of a certain plane.

I too get the same old plane blues...
I've been on so many 757s and 767s and 737s, I really want to try the 777, 747, & MD11. I finally got to ride on the A330 This year, but it felt like a wider 767.
Adding all the planes I've ever flown doesn't really change the list:
727-200
737-200
A320, A319
L1011-1, L1011-250, L1011-500
Last year there was a little more diversity, but our diversity is quickly going away. I'm going to miss the 727... I don't see them any more in SLC.
My next three trips are no different
SLC-RNO WN 737s probably -300s or -500s
SLC-DTW 757-200, CRJ, 767-200
SLC-MCO 757-200, 767-300
I tried so hard to book my trip to MCO through ATL on a 777 or MD-11 but it was over $100 more and didn't work out with my schedule in MCO. I think I'll use my Skymiles to go to France next fall, then I'll have a chance on the 777. Does AF use a 747 to ATL as a code share? Maybe I can kill two birds with one stone!

Fully 1/4 of all my segments lifetime have been on a US Air (ways) 737-400, and about 1/8 of my segments lifetime have been on a US Air (ways) 757-200, most of those segments in the past two years or so...Im getting a little tired of them, but as I have little control over the travel planning in the house, I cant really complain...

95% of the time I am either on an MD-80 or 757. I am starting to get a little sick of them, the irony is that I am flying on a 757 for 4.5 hours next week. I don't have much control at all over the reservations in my house, so there isn't much I can do.

I've flown on most aircraft types. For some reason though I've never managed to board a 777 so that's one I'd like to try someday.. Also I've yet to fly a Bae-146 which is another... Of course it would be incredible to fly the Concorde.. and I think an IL-86 and IL-96 would be an interesting change too... It seems I'm always on a 767, A320 or A330 when I go somewhere which are nice but it's become a bit monotonous.
