You could go farther with an A319, but then you would have to rotate who got F, and it depends on which version of fuel takes are on the UA A319/A320's.

hmmm. Let's see TED charter, 100 people (no middles of course!) circling the pacific cruise ship style one hop per morning. SFO-HNL-PPT-AKL-SYD-MEL-ASP-PER-SIN-HKG-NRT-ANC-SFO. I think NRT-ANC would be the hard one, you would need an average tail wind of 20 MPH to get that under 2900 miles, and then question of where you would divert to if ANC was fogged in.


Anyone know what the off season (winter in north america) charter price is for a UA A320, and what the duty maximum for FAs and flight crew is during a two week period?
