This is a frequent argument I see, but I don't see much substance in it. I've flown with both narrow and wide body, and the most critical dimension is leg room and shoulder width. And I did not find any particular wide body advantage with the sardine-packed 777 comparing to a regular A320, or especially A321, which I have flown in many times. Comparing to a 737, maybe some, but the 737 is an age old design, it is known for not being too spacious. It's not a A321 contender.

Just booked a cautionary flight on new airline called Breeze, nonstop LAX > WHITE Plains, bypassing the major NY airports and impressive bridge tolls in an A-221 configured with 5 seat rows where the middle seat is innovatively wider than the rest, at a very competitive coach fare even after the upsells. A first passage with a new airline is always a leap of faith but my first translantic flight back in 1971 was a venerable, loud and smoky 707, so the long-haul single aisle flight doesn't faze me like it does the younger travellers.

Jet Blue is doing narrowbody JFK to London and I have to say the seat isn't the problem. One aisle is.

It was fine but even as a JetBlue fan, I'm not in a rush to get back on the narrrow body for transatlantic.

What was wrong with the single aisle?

[lbotos]

1 person can block the aisle completely.

Every person that goes to the bathroom in front of you will pass you and the plane is smaller so the commotion is noticeable.

Service blocks the bathroom for a long time because of less bathrooms.

I expect they'll have different seat configurations for longer range planes. 3-4hrs is fine but I can't see how anyone would want to fly 8 hours with the legroom common in Ryanair or Spirit.

I mean, people have been trying to make transatlantic low-cost happen for a while now. not successfully, but people have tried.

> 8 hours with the legroom common in Ryanair or Spirit

At this point I’d rather just stand like in a bus
