You can follow my Instagram for the best ones, like the shot below. Whether that’s finding the best view from the gate area or heading to the TWA Hotel before my flight from JFK, I’m always in search of the best airplane photos.
Less curvatureĪs an AvGeek, I love planespotting. The other four inches are split between the aisle and armrests. Across a row of six seats, that means roughly three extra inches are allocated to the seat itself. And that’s a big deal because it means there’s typically more room for passengers, even though both planes are single-aisle.įrom a survey of the average seat width of American, Delta and United planes, the A320 family offers, on average, half an inch more width per seat.

The A320s are all getting power outlets, and the A321s are undergoing the dreaded Project Oasis retrofits, which will make legroom tighter but include the installation of power outlets. AA is actively updating the cabins on these legacy US Airways jets. However, this won’t be the case for much longer. In that case, I’d prefer a Boeing 737… and just cross my fingers that the flight was operated by one with the new AA domestic first class. If that’s the case, you won’t have power outlets on your flight, which could pose a problem if you’re flying on a transcontinental route. For instance, if you’re flying an Airbus A320 or A321 with American Airlines, there’s a chance that your flight is operated by the no-frills legacy-US Airways version. In This Postīefore I get into the analysis, I’ll concede that there are definitely reasons to choose the 737 over the A320 family.
CURREN$Y PILOT TALK 3 320 PLUS
The A320 family includes the smaller A318 and A319 and larger A321 the 737s flying today come in models numbered from 737-200 to -900, plus the currently grounded MAX series.Īnd all else equal, in the same class of service, I’d choose the Airbus jet over the Boeing. You’re bound to find yourself on one of them. They come in various models seating from around 100 to more than 200 passengers, covering routes from short hops to transcon hauls. They’re the number one and two best-selling jet liners of all time, and every one of the 17 biggest airlines in North America flies one or both. On many routes, you’ll even have the choice between an Airbus or Boeing, on the same airline. airlines operate both the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 families of jets. But I’d argue that it’s important to look at the plane manufacturer as well.Īll of the Big Three U.S. Lots of people just search by price or schedule, but what happens when two airlines are offering similarly timed flights at the same price? For some fliers, the choice may come down to their preferred airline or airport. Many passengers don’t bother looking at the type of plane operating their flight.
