Do AS 737's count as widebody's?

As far as I know NW 332, HA 767, LH ?. Just drive the slog to SEA and see a variety of widebody's.

number_6, I don't understand your comment about how SEA is favored. Airlines find the best route for them, with the most profit potential. SEA has a bigger chachment than PDX, therefore we get more and bigger planes. PDX serves all of Oregon (EUG/MFR/RDM for people that don't care about price) and WA south of Centralia. SEA serves Centralia north to the Canadian border because driving BLI-SEA and flying SEA-USA is cheaper than BLI-USA or BLI-YVR-USA usually. SEA also has Microsoft and formerly Boeing, some big reasons why SEA has more service than PDX. Sorry you feel that PDX is cheated widebody flights because of SEA, we feel the same about international flights from YVR, CX 3X daily YVR-HKG, 0X SEA-HKG.

Not that PDX and OR are bad, however, SEA is bigger. Get over your SEA inferiority complex, imagine how EUG feels compared to you.
