December 27, 200421 yr Hello All -Pretty quick question. Are any of the 800/900 series used for "long hauls" (i.e. KLAX-PHNL)? If so, what air carriers are currently using this fleet for trans-pacific routes? I didn't know if this was againts the ETOPS certification for the aircraft.If i'm asking the question incorrectly lemme know! :-)Thanks! Rob Sciarrino
December 27, 200421 yr Alaska Airlines flys nonstop KPDX (Portland Oregon) to KJFK with thier 900's CPU: Core i5-6600K 4 core (3.5GHz) - overclock to 4.3 | RAM: (1066 MHz) 16GB MOBO: ASUS Z170 Pro | GeForce GTX 1070 8GB | MONITOR: 2560 X 1440 2K
December 28, 200421 yr Alaska or Aloha flies the winglet 900 from ksfo to phnl. I tried to with the 800, and was in pattern with yellow fuel. No go arounds for me.
December 28, 200421 yr Aloha does the 700 on the KSNA-PHNL flight though dont they? Since the 700's have a longer range than the 800/900
December 28, 200421 yr Air Pacific do Nadi - Honolulu - Vancouver in the -800WL Cheers,John TavendaleTextures by Tavers - https://www.facebook.com/texturesbytavers
December 28, 200421 yr Absolutely correct. I should make sure that my brain is in gear before engaging my typing fingers.Don Don Bohr
December 28, 200421 yr Also, if you're into North Atlantic routes and are familiar (or want to learn about) with the NAT tracks, PrivatAir (a Lufthansa subsidary I think) fly across the 'pond' with 737-BBJ's (700 series) and A320's. Not sure on their routes, but if you'd like more info - I'm sure I can dig it up.
