Other Middle East and Africa Frequent Flyer Programs - Why did LY choose 777-200 and not 777-300?View Full Version : Why did LY choose 777-200 and not 777-300? LatusElAl Apr 3, 02, 4:23 pm Curious if anybody has any insight into this Q? If the -300 has a pax capacity similar to a 747, and if LY uses the 777 on the TLV-NYC route, and if this routing is ALWAYS overbooked, why wouldn't they go with the 300 if it holds significantly more pax? Bretteee Apr 5, 02, 10:36 pm Maybe its more economical to operate. Many airlines preferred buying the smaller 767 than the 747. Worldtraveler36 Apr 6, 02, 2:15 am Good question, but then, if the flights are overbooked, why not keep 747-400s? ElAl744 Apr 16, 02, 12:46 am i luv the 744 ------------------ LY744 |
