Beyond the numbers
What to weigh
- Your longest regular route with realistic load, not the maximum published range.
- Cabin layout and floor plan of the specific aircraft, not just the type.
- New or pre-owned availability, and model succession for out-of-production types.
- Maintenance programme status, which can outweigh differences between types.
- Crew availability for each type in your region.
