Where the Widebodies Fly [WATT]
Cribbed from my site: http://blog.wandr.me/2016/02/where-the-widebodies-fly/
Looking for flights within the US operated by widebody aircraft? Here’s a relatively easy way to find them.
Just plug in a travel date – the other three fields are optional – and you’ll get back a list of the routes scheduled to fly with a widebody that day.
The underlying data will refresh every week or so, I hope, to stay current.
And, because I can, some random stats about domestic widebody flights:

Looking for flights within the US operated by widebody aircraft? Here’s a relatively easy way to find them.
Just plug in a travel date – the other three fields are optional – and you’ll get back a list of the routes scheduled to fly with a widebody that day.

And, because I can, some random stats about domestic widebody flights:
- American Airlines currently has the most scheduled, edging out Delta Air Lines by about 4%. Hawaiian is in third thanks to its massive long-haul operations from the islands.
- Based on the same reasoning above, HNL has the most domestic widebody departures followed by LAX, MIA, SFO and DFW. JFK doesn’t make the top 5 (largely because AA now has the A321T with Flagship Service on those transcons)
- Snowbirds, Spring Breakers and Spring Training fans in Detroit and Minneapolis get 767 service to Ft. Myers this spring; I would have bet against that if given the opportunity.
- Frequencies vary notably by day of week and by season:

Just some SQL queries against a database of flights. You want something like all the 6000+ mile flights in the world? There are 603 such routes operated by various carriers (counted once for each carrier who flies an overlapping route but not multiple times if a single carrier flies it more than once).

And am I getting this right: there are 603 ULH (i.e. >6k mi) flights across all carriers? (Is this per day, per week, other?)

Currently published to operate at least once through end-of-schedule.
