Standard seat width in its usual 3+3 layout is 18". That's a full inch wider than 737 seats, much more comfortable for medium and long haul flights. Having a cabin width 7" greater than the 737 also means much larger overhead storage bins. The underfloor space is containerised too, whereas a 737 still has chuck-loaded baggage.

@cr10001 2 года назад

I agree. And 'widebodies are more comfortable' is a myth. They can be - the A380 is great (and offers so much room I don't think any airline is tempted to cram the pax in). The 787 in 3-3-3 seating is truly horrible - it would be fine in 2-4-2 but airlines got greedy. At least with a narrowbody, no airline can cram in an extra line of seats.

I think the A321XLR and A321 in general would be the go-to plane for most of the airlines coming out of the pandemic. Perfect plane to replace aging planes and to fill the void of low capacity long haul flight. Once they start using these planes, airlines will start planning their future fleet around the A321. Though for the passengers though as i'd imagined airlines would want to squeeze as much as possible from these single aisle aircrafts.

The 757-300 is longer than the A321XLR so the A321XLR won’t be a replacement for the 757-300. The A321XLRs remind me that Airbus should make A321XERs

Generally speaking, the A320 series Standard Economy seat is as wide, or wider than the equivalent fitted to wide bodied aircraft. As for seat pitch, this is very much set by the Airlines, so for a typical Economy (coach) customer, the at seat experience should be at least as good, if not better than for a widebody

Maybe it’s just me but I have found flying a Boeing 777 in coach to be very comfortable as far as how the plane feels in flight. It seems the weight an size of the aircraft have an effect on how smooth the flight is and how it copes with turbulence. I could be wrong but I have always felt the flight more on an A320 or a 757 so I would most certainly prefer a wide body for a long haul flight.

@_w_w_ 2 года назад

Stability against turbulence, yes, heavier plane wins. Seat-comfort wise, the high-density 787 and 777 cannot beat the 320. High-density 777 is one of the least comfortable plane in the sky right now. It's literally THE worst!

@colinw7205 2 года назад

You are right in your perceptions. But also I bet it is because you were born right in the middle of the wide body era when the "the Queen of the Sky" the 747 rule such long range routes supplemented by the big twins the B777, the A330. I'm 62 yrs old born in 1959 at the beginning of the jet age when planes with the exact capabilities as the A320-XLR such as the the B707 and DC-8 were pretty much the only game in town.

@magnustan841 2 года назад

I’ve never been on a narrow-body longer than 2 hours, so I can’t say if the space will be compromised. Airlines already fit 18” seats on existing A320 family aircraft, as marketed by Airbus, this is wider than most of the competition. I guess it’s the smaller cabin that makes flyers more uncomfortable. The only real problem I see is using the toilet on longer flights, with only one aisle, movements between toilets could be obstructive, so I personally hope to see A321XLR operators install a single toilet around door 3 just behind the wings. I’ve seen it being down before, JetBlue’s A321LR if I can recall correctly.

I think it's the lower ceiling height that give the impression of less space. I flight TPAC almost every week before the pandemic. Once you are seated and resting/sleeping, you can't tell the difference as far as seat comfort is concerned. However, the bigger/heavier planes handle turbulence much much better. 320 is also better at turbulence than the 737, so at least it's got that slight upper hand.

The thing to bear in mind, with these long-range narrow bodies, they have a point to point as opposed to the hub and spoke target market. What that means is more efficient travel without flying to a hub and then getting on another plane to complete the journey. I would rather be a little more cramped than have a much longer trip with a connection in between. And besides, compared to the spam in a can experience of the 737, the A320/1 is much wider and more comfortable.

Of course Boeing has to raise ''safety concerns'' because this aircraft will replace some of their 757s. Airbus even works on a new carbon fiber wing (to enter service in the mid 2020s) for the A 321 which will likely be bigger than the current 120 m² wing (757 180 m²), so they could further stretch the cabin and offer a full 757-300 replacement without payload restrictions on longer routes, with the same 320 series type rating for the pilots.

Boeing really shot themselves in the foot with this one. Airbus correctly predicted this trend. If Boeing had listened to the US3 and re-engined the 757 or began work on a direct replacement they’d had 100+ more orders. But no, 737 max things had to get in the way. Profits over people as always.

Who wants to cross the Atlantic for 7 hours in a single aisle plane. Although the A-321XLR will be a good plane but we are now back to the DC-8 or B-707 with 2 engines. PAX will prefer to fly on A-330, A350 or B-767, B-777, B-787

@spongebubatz 2 года назад

I’d like to, I’ve crossed the Atlantic several times on the 757 already and it really isn’t bad. The only difference you’d notice is the narrower fuselage, seats are pretty much the same as on widebodies

Can’t imagine what this would mean for crew in regards to their rest areas. On wide body jets, there’s room for their own little compartment where they can go and eat. But I fail to see if one would fit on one of these, unless they section off a couple of the last rows like they do on some flights

@francescoboselli6033 2 года назад

I can understand the necessity of more fuel efficient aircraft, but I can already see the confort loss exepecialy for the crew. For passengers I don't think that the comfort loss, seats wise, will be so tragic, it all depends on what the seats configuration the airline choose. Although common space and corridors will be for sure smaller. For the crew is another story: Most probably the cabin crew will not even a dedicated restroom like in long hall plane. As an Italian I'm curious to see if Ita will adopt the aircraft for transatlantic connection 🤔

I'm looking forward to seeing the XLR take to the skies. Would love to see more airlines introduce a Premium Economy (2-2) cabin on this, along with business and economy. I think the problem, for some cultures, will be getting used to flying long-haul on what has traditionally appeared to be a short-medium haul plane. But then, people panicked when twin engine aircraft started flying the Atlantic! "Surely it needs more engines" they said! - now look at it.

@seasidekf9536 2 года назад

I prefer wide body for long flight because of the service cart. If you're settling front part of the economy class and finished the meal and want to visit bathroom. Yet still cart is servicing the second drink or correcting trays. You can't go the the bathroom located in the back of the plane. After cart is done, you may find long line up for the bathroom from back part of the passengers.

I wonder if Airbus rebrand the A321XLR to be it's own thing. I know they can't stretch it but it could be good for better sales from airlines as a true mid-market airliner. In regards to it being a narrowbody - narrow planes have been flying transatlantic/long haul routes for a long time. I know I don't mind the smallness if the A321XLR = cheaper flights and newer cabins/seats. Crews probably will miss the wider jets but considering the feasibility of having a true 757 replacement - meaning airports in tough to reach places and small airfields needed to accommodate - I don't think they'll mind.

Not interested in flying in a long-haul single aisle commercial aircraft in economy or 2-2 business class. Too confining/narrow.

Even then, I would consider it only on the shortest of transatlantic routings, e.g. Boston-Ireland/UK.

I learned that it depends on the airline, route, and demand for that specific route that dictates what aircraft they use. That said, newer generation marrowbody aircraft are on the rise. They are more fuel efficient and so,e ,pre comfortable. The A220 is a prime example, like the A320NEO, it's starting to become really popular and only a matter of time before air;ones use them for medium and long haul routes. Flew on the A220 and it's a phenomenal flight each time. Granted though, as you said in your comment, some 737s... Shouldn't be taking the load of such routes, let alone fly considering their age and condition.

I don't understand why the crew rest area can't be a converted stretch of a cargo bin. Like, convert the far end of bin 5 in the tail into a few bunks--that's the least-utilized cargo space on a 321. Lol we usually only use it to ship human remains, so like, that's ironic. And speaking of cargo space in a 321, going hard on narrowbody long-haul travel in the next couple decades is going to mean more revenue for freighter airlines, as passenger airlines won't be able to fit the pallets of freight into a narrowbody airliner that they reguarly ship in the belly of their widebody planes. I'm going long on Aerosucre stock.

I can see some need of them in countries with thin populations like Australia or Canada and away from large populations centers.... Perhaps it would be more adequate as an all cargo variant where passenger confort is not deemed necessary!...
