The Airbus A321XLR Is A Bigger Deal Than You Think
It seemed as if there were just two conversations taking place at the Paris Airshow last month: Airbus' launch of a new long-range aircraft called the A321XLR and Boeing’s slide... (www.forbes.com) Plus d'info...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]

5000nm in a single aisle seems miserable to me. I prefer widebody aircraft for long haul travel
Of course, but perhaps you would prefer a nonstop instead of having to connect through a hub. A long distance narrow-body potentially opens up more direct routes.
exactly! throwing in a stop greatly increases your chances of "weather" delays and everything else. yeah thats a long time to sit, but you're at your destination when its all over. Should help open new markets and also help keep ticket prices lower.
A single isle can be made very confortable, just give everybody enough space plus a descent aisle and it’s not worse than a wide body.
Seat width and pitch are the same as a wide body, it's just in people's heads because they are used to flying wide bodies.
One aisle - more people take longer to load and unload. No alternatives to pass carts or people on way to lavs, etc. The old 76s are better than the 777 or A330s because you have 2 aisles for LESS people.
