- While it may be of huge benefit to airlines, the concept of long-haul narrowbody flights have long been controversial among passengers. Whether fair or not, many argue that they're less comfortable than widebodies, although new technology plays a vital role in making cabins feel more spacious.
Traveling Long-haul with single-aisle aircraft is an intriguing concept economically. While a narrowbody has a far lower trip cost than a widebody, they have a higher seat-mile cost, higher cost per seat, and fewer seats to fill. The balance depends partly on the degree of premium passengers or lack of competition, as well as the market's ability to pay higher fares to offset higher seat costs.
In today’s video, let’s examine which airlines are deploying the 737 max narrowbody on long-haul services…

I think a lot of people aren't old enough to remember long haul as it used to be. The 707, DC8 and VC10 were all single aisle...
Well yeah, but you could drink and smoke to your heart’s content 🎉
Well those were 3-4 engine jets. Now we have twin engine jets. Pretty impressive.
Yeah, but now our seats are tiny and feel like they barely have any padding. Of course we’re going to be more uncomfortable than people were in the mid 1900’s.
Give me those four engine jets any day. ..
I avoid the MAX...
Don't forget the ultimate in single aisle: Concorde 😄
8+ hours in a single aisle? Nah, I’ll wait for the next A330 or 767, thanks 😂😂
I take it you have no plans to fly long haul on the A321XLR then..
@@khylejoseph166 Unless the cabin has been done perfectly, no way for me
tell that to who created ETOPS for twin narrow body aircraft
@@khylejoseph166 If I have a choice between that and a widebody plane on the same route, I will gladly pick the latter.
Not much of a difference in my book, in both you're jammed in like sardines, unless you book business. Just have some drinks and you'll be fine.
The longest 737 flight I've been on was Sydney to Denpasar, which was almost 6hrs on a 737-800. It was cosy to say the least
Yeah I flew from ANC to ORD a couple months ago. Almost 8 hours in a United 737-MAX economy. Never again
I flew on southwest 737 max to Hawaii, I felt comfortable.
I was on Norwegian Air's Max between Dublin and New York when they operated that route. 7 hours and 30 minutes. I've also done the A321lr with Aer Lingus transatlantic.
I haven't taken it on the MAX but I've flown many 7-hour flights with Copa from PTY to Buenos Aires, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.
Flew Hamburg Newark many times on the 757, same fuselage cross section than the 737. Flying times could be up to nine hours westbound, no issue ...
Dubai to helsinki on a packed 321, around 6.5 hours! nearly called the Hague afterwards to complain about human rights violations!
737 Max 8 Sacramento, CA - Honolulu, HI 5.5 hours. I am NOT a fan of SWA but they got the seat pitch and leg room right on their version of this aircraft... I am a fan of their Max 8
Love this !
So informative and very Professional .
I always watch these .
Let us see the Man behind the Voice !!
I've taken an Icelandair flight from Keflavik to Helsinki. I love their design but if your on that plane for 6+ hours it gets uncomfortable. Also those small planes have more turbulcance
My longest was the roughly 5 hours from uk to cypress,and hated every minute. The only way I could do that duration would be in premium
As a tall 6’4 I had no issue on a Batik Air in economy for around 6 hours flying Brisbane to Denpasar on their 737MAX. No bells and whistles but Quiet and comfortable economy class.
Can’t wait to see a review of the Kuala Lumpur - Melbourne flight
I flew the Max 8 non stop from YEG Edmonton Canada to CUN Cancun which was approx 5 hrs and 15 mins. Lovely flight.
I dont fly them for that long, but i fly a lot of routes where you could also fly a 787. For me the main diference is the toilets, on the Aeromexico 787-8 you will find 6 toilets for the 211 economy seats in the 737 - 8 is 2 toilets for 150 seats
Flew with Copa Airlines from Asunción, Paraguay via Panama City to Mexico City on 737-800. Even with a nominal 32 inch seat pitch the almost 7 hours between ASU and PTY was near torture, because it was near impossible to reach my bag under the seat in front of me with that seat upright. When that seat reclined it became claustrophobic. And on the return flight I got a claustrophobic panic attack at the start of the meal service and had to be moved to the aft galley for recovery. No more cattle class for me!
I flew Copa from Panama City to Buenos Aires once on a 737 overnight. My seat back screen froze while we were taxiing out and was never able to be fixed. Happy to have never done that again.
Don’t forget the DC-8 and B-707.
flying on Singapore Air Max 8 from Cairns to SIngapore in June next year - nearly 7 hours each way.. ! Lucky am in Business class!! Have the throne seats booked for return leg!
"Feeling" more spacious and actually being more spacious are two different things.
Speaking of narrow bodies, Aer Lingus do transatlantic from Dublin to Newark and Washington DC with the A321 neo. I've been in economy for 11 hours on wide bodies before. I could probably put up with 5 hours on a 737 max 8.
From what I've seen Icelandair's 737MAX cabin is actually really nice, would totally be fine spending 8hrs on one. They're configured for long-haul with power outlets and large IFE displays.
I've been on a 757 for 7hrs (KEF-MSP on Delta) and the experience felt no different from a wide body.
On the contrary probably my most miserable flight experience was 9hrs in economy on a United B772 with 10-across seating. Would take a narrow body over that any day.
I will work on the SID-HEL flight in november with TUI. Interesting that it is one of the longest 737 services.
Although I have not been on this flight, but one of the longest 737 max flights I can think of is Reykjavik to Seattle on an Icelandair 737 MAX 9
I flew on the Miami to Brasilia flight with Gol. Didn’t have a problem with the plane being narrow body, just it was a different experience on such a long flight.
I flew on the gol flight from Brasília to Orlando, 8 hours and 20 minutes. For me it was very good, ofc I would prefer flying on widebody like the triple seven or the dreamliner, but I have no problem with long-haul narrowbody flights
Bro, I come across your comment and I literally work for the ground crew that does GOL in Orlando. I can't believe I've possibly worked your flight before lol!
@@eliohernandez01 lol, I flew on that flight in late August. And I can remember that I just spent a good amount of time looking at the ground crew as I was sitting in the window seat lmao
Depending on that flight I might take it to Malaysia from Melbourne.
Back in the 80s it was so nice and fuel was cheaper that I flew Avianca 747 from Miami to Barranquilla Colombia it was back in those days when you travel in style I can't imagine flying in those narrow airplanes for more than 4 hours no way jose
when I did CPH-SID on a Sunclass regular a321 sharklets we had to refuel at LPA. But whew, one degree more In seat pitch would make me reconsider my prejudice.
Sunwing is flying Edmonton to Liberia Costa Rica this winter at just over 8 hours with the Max 8.
Kuala Lumpur to Melbourne in Batik Air Malaysia 🔥🔥
6h 18m on AC from EWR-YVR. It was downgraded from a 789. That will prep me for February when I’ll be back on AC from YVR-OGG. 6h 28m.
6 hours from RSW, Fort Myers FL, to SEA, Seattle WA.
Good article. Yes, narrowbody 'medium-haul' is here for the future. Obviously this is a market for passengers without much hold luggage or cargo, too. Smaller aircraft are actually quite popular for many factors such as less 'queuing' at check-in, boarding, disembarking etc., A typical LR narrowbody only requires about 4 cabin-crew and 2 pilots for up to 200 passengers.
The problem is costs. I can see it working fine flying between small/mid affluent markets in Europe to very large hubs like NYC or ORD.
Recently flew Nadi to Melbourne in 737 Max 8 - just under 6 hours. Lucky for me I was in exit row 😅
So far yet to fly on a 737 max 8. flown plenty of 737-800 flights with virgin Australia
Santiago (scl) to Panama city (Pty) about 7 with Copa. It was alright.
I've been in the 737 max for the route of Brasilia-Orlando and omfg, it was so bad and when we arrived at Orlando we had to wait 30+ minutes to the airplane get directed to a gateway. 8h20m in that plane will make everyone crazy
My longest 737 flight was from Helsinki to Gran Canaria back in late 2019
One abt a320 n? Ik theirs one that's about 6h 30m from Manchester to Kuwait
You forgot Panama's Copa Airlines Montevideo(URY)-Panama(PTY), a 5495 km flight!
5hrs Seattle to Newark on Alaska's MAX-8
Why does it matter widebody vs narrow body. If the seat has the same design, pitch, or width; it makes no difference.
wow impressive
I haven't been on the MAX yet but my longest narrowbody flight was probably ORD-SFO on either a 737 or 757. Definitely not even close to the ones on the list.
Aerolíneas Argentinas flies from Buenos Aires EZE to Punta Cana PUJ in its B38Ms
I flew a 5 hour flight from Atlanta to Spokane
On Delta
With densification of wide body aircraft (9 seats in 787, 10 i 777 etc), the narrowbody and old 767 now sport more comfortable and wider seats than the new widebodies. The one problem with narrowbodies is galley. For long hauls, widebodies are generally able of 2 hot meals, not narrowbodies. (though 2 hot meals are now limited to only true log hauls, not trans-atlantic).
Longest max flight I’ve operated was from YYZ - YYJ. 5H 22min flight time
Brussels - Boa Vista TUI fly Airlines BELGIUM Boeing 737-MAX 8. 6,5 HOURS Time Flight
Point to Point will be more frequent, and the demand for hub airports is decreasing. COVID-19 and the enhancement of aircraft technologies are game changers for the post-pandemic aviation industry.
imagine being in a general aviation aircraft for hours
Once when i was in Singapore🇸🇬 (SIA) 2019 i saw a plane parked in the terminal & was going to somewhere like Australia🇦🇺 or NZ🇳🇿 using a 737 MAX
When I’m looking for an air ticket and I see that there is a narrow-body flying more than 4 hours, I just don’t book with that airline and search for alternatives, either a wide-body or a stop-over.
My longest Max flight was on American Airlines from JFK to SJO, nearly 5.5 hours. Not a bad aircraft in terms comfort, but absolutely lousy inflight service for such a long flight. The airline doesn't even offer decent meals for purchase, let alone serve anything more than multiple drink service and tiny snacks. To be fair, it was in 2021 and the pandemic was still in effect, but during that time, other airlines certainly did a lot better on such long flights.
8.0 hours Punta Cana to Vancouver Sunwing Airlines
Wow cool to see! The longest 737 MAX 8 flight I took was with American 🇺🇸 from DCA-ORD ✈️ It doesn’t even come close to the mentioned routes 😆 😛
You should make a video on the 10 oldest 737 MAX’s in commercial service today 😊
I love the idea of oldest 737 max schedule flight. Can you do a vid clip on this problem?
5+ hours from BWI to LAX is enough for me. At least in economy
Cheers
YYZ-PVR 737-800 MAX8 6.5Hrs
Longest I’ll go in a narrow body is about 5 and a half hours
Think I'd rather take Air Asia A330 to KUL. Although Batik Max are a nice aircraft to fly on.
My longest 737 flight was london stansted to dalaman international, ik it isn’t that far, but being on a 737 for 4.30 hours isn’t fun
My longest 737 MAX Flight was from Dubai to Zanzibar
One unrelated question: why did American stick with the 737 MAX 8 rather than the MAX 7, 9, or 10?
Ryan Air calls 6+ hours of trips "flights," but we call them "tortures."
Ha.😊
1 Hours is torture at a Ryanair Plane
Which is the music playlist?
The 737 Max is the replacement for the B757?
Santo Domingo Dominican Republic to Sao Paulo Brazil 7.5
My longest max flight? 0hr and 0min... Never flown on one as i only have flown on an 737 with United in 2019 after the grounding and before that on Ryanair before the Max even got certificed...
My longest narrow body airplane is 7 hours.
These smaller aircrafts are much more claustrophobic for me than widebodies, I would never fly across atlantic in narrowbody. I have done few times 6 hour flight with 737 and a320 and this was horrible.
I thought over 3 hours from Gatwick to the Canaries was bad enough on a TUI 737-MAX was bad enough - no wifi, no screens, no power sockets, no leg room. But I would dread 4-5-6 hours on such a similarly configured aircraft - it would be intolerable.
No that was a Concorde
longest i flew on a 737 was Gatwick to Mallaga
I think the flying public are being slightly naive with the long-haul narrowbody travel. If a narrowbody and widebody operating the same route, had seats with identical width and pitch, offer on-demand in-flight entertainment, offer the same level of service and the ticket price was the same, I’d pick whichever flight suits my schedule. Unless I wanted to flight a particular aircraft type to add to my logbook.
Any time I know ima b on a narrow body for a long flight I hold my #2 till I get at 30k+ feet then I let it fly in blue juice.
The max is actually a great airplane to fly (especially quiet compared to older generations), but any more than 4 hours and I want a wide body, thanks!
well its the future so then why does ETOPS apply to narrow body planes if you think like that
Do it with Airbus :)
Dude ! Spicejet airlines in India does 10hr flight to Rome, Italy from new Delhi. I operate that as a crew. Check your facts
Only thing that makes long flights better for customers.. is paying more for Business or First Class 💰🥂
8 hrs. on a B-737? No way. Only in business.
I flew on an air canada 737 max from calgary to las vegas for just 2 and a half hours and i already felt like jumping off that plane lol, cant imagine being in there for more that those two hours
music???????
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. I would never pay my money to fly long haul in a narrow body. I have been forced to do it for work, and it's miserable.
Then WHY does ETOPS exist even for the narrow body sector? Tell who ever made Narrow bodies do these types of hours if its not right
@@nickolliver3021 You understand that ETOPS is now 180 minutes from a safe landing airport? Why is anything approved by regulatory agencies? Money maybe? Go figure. I am telling them with my dollar or lack thereof.
Bean counters trying to squeeze out every single penny at the expense of the traveller.7 /8 hours on a 737 ain't going to be much fun.
Ideal airline passenger: 80lbs wet, don’t eat, talk, use bathroom.
I haven't gotten to enjoy the 737 max yet. I keep getting stuck with A320s on my routes. I'll keep trying though
Maximum 5 hrs in max or 737
My brother and I flew a Westjet B737-800 westbound YYZ-YVR in June of 2018 (just a shade over 5 hours). Our return flight was a Westjet B737-700 eastbound YVR-YYZ (4 hours and change). That sounds about right - maximum 5 hours flying time on single aisle aircraft (no more).🤔🤔🤔
@@garyquan5575 i also think so i think i will fly next on Singapore airlines with max but its around 4 hrs .. that will be ok but if its business with lie flat bed its ok to be 7 hrs
Don’t matter aircraft size, economy will still jam you in like sardines in a can.
I don't understand the reason why the executives in the 737Max crash don't go to jail. Any citizens a US tax payers will go to jail for doing half of what they have done with the 737Max
According to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's investigations unit, scores of incidents concerning the Boeing 737 MAX have flown under the radar since the aircraft returned to service in the US. On 22 occasions, the aircraft's flight control system failed, 42 incidents involved equipment malfunctions, and on at least 40 occasions, pilots chose not to fly the MAXs until identified issues were fixed. That's in addition to the six in-flight emergencies declared in the US since the MAX resumed flying.
Single aisle planes should never benn flying long haul
Gol brazil 737 from brazil rio to miami
8 hours ... absolutely not! American carriers better not get this idea 😂😭
then why does ETOPS apply to twin narrowbody aircraft?
they already fly from coast to coast with them and to South America. They loved the 757 to South America and Hawaii before getting ride of them and many still use A321 and 737-900 on 5+ hour trips. I'm lucky to start from DFW so almost all of the places I want to go are less than 4 hours from there.
Mines was about six hours from Istanbul to Douala Cameroon
3:28 NOTHING
The longest 737 flight i've been on was from minsk-istanbul it was the worst flight ever the flight time was 6h20m because of the airspace restriction for belarus🤦♂️
I am 1m90, 3 hours is the maximum i can do in a 737.
That is if MCAS does not activate.
Longest flight cause it didn’t crash for once?
A321? Why not? 737 MAX? DEFINITELY NOT! A330, 777, or 787? YES!!!
I am not sure why flying on a single aisle aircraft on a non stop long haul (up to 8 hrs) flight is any different to a twin aisle aircraft. I think it is to many softies have got use to flying on twin aisle aircraft.
The claim that narrow bodies have a higher seat mile cost is blatantly false! Why do you think the airlines are all going to single aisles? It's certainly not because they cost more! The A320neos and 737maxes can get over 100mpg/seat mile. The 787 and A350 can get close, but those planes are 3-4 times the cost of a narrowbody with like 50% more seats or less. It's blatantly obvious the narrowbodies are much cheaper to operate.
