  • 5000 miles and 9 hours on a 737, with 13 pax and 4 cabin crew

    Just got back from Houston where my return was on the KL chartered Privatair 737-700 for IAH-AMS. These are all J class birds with just 44 seats but there was only 13 pax on our flight, so with 4 cabin crew made for a very enjoyable flight. The seats were not the best for sleeping in as I found them too narrow around the upper body, but maybe it being my first time in one meant I didn't know the best way to 'use' the seat.

    If someone had said to me when I first flew on a 737 years ago that I would one day do over 5000 miles on one across the pond I would have called them nuts.

    I wonder if this flight is currently the worlds longest scheduled narrow body flight ?.

    WOW
    I wish i could try out one these long haul narrowbodied flights ! Getting sick of the 777s , 747s , 330s , 380s in SQ's fleet .
    Hmm ... I would say that it's gotta be up there with some other narrow body flights !

      Was that 737 the longer range version/BBJ?

        Better than 5000 pax, 9 cabin crew on a 737 over 13 hours and 4 miles

          sounds fun.

          There is a nice trip report on the BA A318 service London City - Shannon - JFK on airliners.net I just read. Looked good.

          Are you doing a TR for us or what ?

                Yes it was.

                As you have probably seen, I just don't do TR's.

                I know I probably should, and god knows I used to take enough pics, but I'm just too lazy!.

                  I'll split with 9V-JKL if there's an upside for us: if no MAN Flyer TR by a certain date, we get the case of Krug.

                    I say, a couple of sentences and blurry pics (we don't even need the leg shot...) might be worth a case of Krug...?

                      There is no TR unless there is a leg shot picture.

                        No on the leg shot!

                        Hell, for a case of Krug, I'll even help with the TR...being that I'm so experienced at it.

                          Someone quickly hijack MAN Flyer's account and write a 3 line TR!

                          (We'll photoshop the legshot in there somehow of someone else's legs)

                          I'm looking at you, SQfg!

                            This Krug sparkling fruit juice drink seems to have a rather strong effect on SQTalkers doesn't it?

                            so how are we splitting the case again?
