FWIW long-range widebodies are not necessarily jumbos, a 787-9 seats under 300, and an A350-900ULR has 315 passengers.

Assuming the XLR can be configured like a regular 321neo, it can reach 244 passengers in single-class configuration, and 200 in dual-class.

A 787-9 seats "just" 300 because typically 30 seats are 'premium business' where your seat becomes a bed and you have a partition - basically first class but less service and a bit less cushy. 30 are business. 30 are premium cattle class. 200 are cattle class.

A 787-9 can seat 400 in single-class configuration. It has more than twice the maximum take off weight of the A321XLR. It's a significantly larger plane.

(the A350 is even larger)
