That’s it. I’m not saying these will be more or even equally spacious to wide bodies, and they won’t offer the higher cabin pressure and moister cabin air of the 787 or A350 (but then, these would be flying on the same rotes as an A321XLR). But I’d rather fly nonstop in one if these than fly in a 777 to Heathrow or Madrid and then fly in narrowbody “business” to Dubrovnik, Prague, Reykjavík, etc.
