More airplane questions from a terriflied flyer

If there are no storms or windy conditions will there be a noticeable difference between a big and smaller jet? (757 vs. MD-88)

thanks

The seasoned flyer in our house (not me) says, "The 757 may be smoother, all things considered, as it flies higher and is less likely to run into routine turbulence. Also, routine turbulence is like going over a speed bump in a car: the larger plane should negotiate the turbulence more smoothly than a smaller one..." Hope this helps... :-)

You jump hill after hill on a motorcycle.

Just pretend the plane is a really big motorcycle with stricter maintenance requirements.
