The 777-300, in my opinion, is the best long-haul airplane here, fuel consumption is very good, considering it can carry 550 PAX, but the only flaw is it needs a 11000ft runway.

Frankfurt:
A Boeing 747-430 was being prepared at Frankfurt International Airport's Gate A23 for a scheduled flight, LH760, to Delhi, India. Some repairs were carried out on the hydraulics of the left hand body gear while parked at the gate. During a test sequence the nose landing gear's ground lock pin fell out. This caused the nose landing gear to retract. The nose fell onto a push-back truck.
