The 787 is a much more pleasant experience than the 777 in terms of noise and atmosphere but I agree the 777 was and is a great plane. The 747 remains iconic (a bit like Concorde but with much cheaper tickets). I never managed to fly in the upper cabin before Covid made it so unprofitable to keep flying for most airlines. However, I have flown In the upper cabin of an Airbus 380 and nothing can beat it for quietness and comfort despite it being so ugly. Quick tip - if you ever find yourself on an A380 and like window seats for the view, book a seat at the front or back of the plane. The wing is enormous and most seats in the middle don't get a great view; unless you like looking at the wing.
I've not flown on the A350 which is a direct competitor to the 777 but I want to, just to see what it's like, but options are limited in Hawaii. In the meantime, I'm certainly starting to have concerns about booking a flight on any 737 max model, and the 737-900ER which inspections have shown has the same plug door issue as the maxes.
