    Narrow Body Mainline Aircraft Have You Flown on the Most?

    This will be interesting. What aircraft (narrow body mainline) do you fly on the most? E-Jets are omitted since they "swing both ways" so to speak. Survey is based on US Domestic Travel, and aircraft currently in operation on US Airlines.

    Re: Narrow Body Mainline Aircraft Have You Flown on the Most?

    I'm missing a couple of flights from the early 90s, and a handful before 1986, but this is what I have. I'm including 11 qualifying flights (DC9, 732, 321) between the US and Central Canada (Quebec/Ontario), most of them on the EWR-YUL sector.

    DC-9: 11 (all -30 series)
    737 Classic: 11 (2,3,4,5 all represented)
    737NG: 7 (all -700)
    752: 6
    M80: 6 (-82 and -88)
    727: 4
    320: 4
    319: 3
    717: 3
    DC8: 2
    321: 1

    Total DC9 family: 20
    Total 737 family: 18
    Total A320 family: 8

    Super 80s followed by the 757. Not thrilled to see more 757s in use on longer flights such as US-Europe and US-Hawaii.

    A319 and A320, but at least i don't pay for it.
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    Re: Narrow Body Mainline Aircraft Have You Flown on the Most?

    In order (based on memory):
    1. B737 (300, 500, 700, 800)- Appx 55 legs
    2. MD80 Series- Appx 25 legs
    3. B757 (200)- Appx 15 legs

    I've always tried to route using different aircraft thru hubs; as an example
    in winter '07 I routed STL-ATL-FLL-ATL-STL and picked a flight set that
    offered this equipment: CR7-763-757-E170. As I've taken to flying SWA
    more often lately, my 737 count has jumped noticeably, whereas my 757
    or MadDog count have both atrophied...

    Cheers!

    Well since i'm young I dont remember many flights but I know I flew whatever company my father was working for at that time (mostly U.S. Airways then jetBlue) Now its whatever airline is cheapest. Here is my count as I remember.
    A320: 8
    757: 3
    A319: 3
    MD-83: 1 (most recent flight)
    737: Unknown but more then 0
    Am now trying to fly more on MD-80's and trying to get a leg on a DC-9 though I like the service I got on my AA flight so thats what i'm mostly going with now AA.

    707s are not in regular service with US Airlines anymore.

    I have alot of time in the babtbus fleet. It is probably even with 737's though because every weekend I used to fly CAl SRQ-EWR roundtrip pretty much. I think Airbus with US wins out though.
