Posted in: What do you think about single-aisle, long-distance aircraft, such as the new Airbus A321XLR? Would you rather fly on a roomier plane? See in context

The A321XLR will be very comfortable. I’ve ridden it’s predecessor, the A321LR, from Sydney to Manila in an 8 hour flight and was very comfortable in economy. Airbus, unlike the American competitor, design for an 18 inch wide seat with 2 inch armrests. That means not hitting the shoulder of the guy next to you. Being a single aisle they cannot squeeze in another seat. This is opposed to 17 inches on the competition and 16 on some budget airlines. Airbus have done a lot of work. 1 Cabin pressure is reduced from 8000ft to 6000ft. 2 photos of Overhead bins show they are massive and will hold all bags roller bags required. 3 Water supply is increased from 200L to 490L. A Garbage compactor saves space since 2 hot meals will now be required. In May PAL flight there was no issue with access to toilets as on a long flight there is plenty of time outside of meal service. It was very quiet due to the new PW1100G engine. Flights are going to be at most 8-10 hours. In the 10-12 flights the a/c will be in a low density layout due to weight issues. It will make you more comfortable because you are more likely to get a direct flight and you are more likely to get your preferred time.
