Although the DC-3 transport plane was superior in terms of data, if Arthur had to choose an airplane to board, he would actually prefer the Boeing 367 transport plane.
Undoubtedly, the DC-3 was more efficient and accessible to the common people compared to the Boeing 367.
The design features of Boeing 367, including the lavatories, were clearly intended for the upper-middle class.
With the same engine power, the Boeing 367's larger size and weight would mean increased fuel consumption and added costs.
Moreover, with additional facilities on board, the Boeing 367 could only accommodate a limited number of 31 people (3 crew members plus 28 passengers), which was 3 fewer than the smaller DC-3 transport plane.
This meant that the higher operating costs of the Boeing 367 had to be distributed among fewer passengers, leading to higher ticket prices for each.
