UA does ORD-SJU and IAD-SAN which are long legs for the A320. My friend who is a UA Captain for the 320 told me that the IAD-SAN route is the longest route UA's 320 operate on. I can tell you his name on request.

Quoting Wsan581 (Reply 4): WOW!! ZRH EWR? Does Private Air operate this route?
Yeah. They also run a 737-700 on the route. I was shocked the first time I heard that the could do that. The one that really astounds me is ZRH-IAH in a 737-700!!
Hold it . . . Hold it . . . HOLD THE FREAKIN NOSE UP!!

You'd be surprised how far narrowbodies can fly when seating capacity is limited! Although I'm not sure if they take the excess luggage space and add fuel capacity on their planes or not.

I agree...I guess they don't require as much cargo space when your only flying a couple dozen people, hence the extra fuel tanks.

PIT-LAX, thats nothing my friend. B6 BOS-LGB is an hour longer then that.
MCOFlyer: Don't need his name. I can tell you he is wrong. IAD-SFO is longer then IAD-SAN by 166 miles. Also, right now the SAN service is done by a A319 and not a A320 (is we are just including 320 as the title says).
Longest A320 route in the US I can find is JetBlue BOS-LGB 2597 mi, 6hr 05 min.
I may be missing one

When making comparisons about the longest ranges these aircraft fly,one needs to distinguish between scheduled commerical passenger flights and speciality business only flights. There is no point in comparing apples and oranges for a true representation of some of the extreme ranges these aircraft fly. I find long range routes operated by scheduled commercial passenger aircraft very interesting as they truely test the limits of endurance and make for much fairer comparisons.

It has auxillary fuel tanks (adding a large amount of fuel capacity). It also has the uprated engines from the 738/739.
Quoting AS739X (Reply 9): PIT-LAX, thats nothing my friend. B6 BOS-LGB is an hour longer then that.
Yeah, and that flight was basically regularly stopping at MSP all summer to refuel.

AS739X,
I believe B6 is always pushing the A320 on that route. My friend flies IAD-SAN 6x a year. According to him, thats the longest A320 route though I have seen the A320 on MCO-SFO.

Eurofly does MUC-BDA with a 319 but I'm not sure what in configuration they have the aircraft. If it's all business class I guess it's not too unusual, but that's a long way way for a regularly configured 319. Maybe someone can fill me in.
25 LH648: Air Astana is flying ALA-IST (2447 mi) on A320.
26 YULYMX: AC Fly the 320 to YVR from YUL pretty long (2295 mi) with strong wind... the LAX and SFO are made by A319[Edited 2006-10-11 16:24:52]
27 QatarA340: QR does DOH-YANGON 6 h 20 m on A319 LR
28 Yellowtail: TA Does either SAL or GUA to SFO....that is a long way.......I recall takign this flight a while and having and unscheduled stop in Mazatlan for fuel.
29 Tjwgrr: PHL-SFO (UA/US ) 2521 mi (A319/320/321) CUN-YYC (AC) 2540 mi (A319) Couple of long ones I found for North American routes....
30 LH648: AF was flying CDG-TAS on 319LR (3199 mi)
31 United787: Can someone do a summary of all of the routes that were discussed using this website? http://gc.kls2.com/ I would love to do it, but I need to get bac
32 KE086: The longest a320 flight that i have been on was from Guatemala to New York with the stop over at El Salvador. I don't know how many miles that is but
33 FSPilot747: United does BOS - LAX on the 319 and/or 320. A friend of mine said last winter that one of their BOS-LAX trips took 7:15 because of extremely heavy he
34 Ushermittwoch: Not that much longer, if you consider that the block time for the DUS-EWR flight is only 8h 40 mins and 7h 35mins for EWR-DUS.
35 Tjwgrr: UAL is not doing BOS-LAX with the A319/A320 (at least through the near future) but they are doing LAX-BOS eastbound only with the A319/A320. BOS-LAX
36 Richierich: JetBlue flies BOS-LGB as well with A320, but this is not as far as BOS-OAK. It is my understanding that this is one of the longest scheduled A320 fli
37 MGA: TA does: SAL-SFO on an A320 at 2640 MGA-LAX on an A320 at 2524 SJO-LAX on an A319 at 2722 MGA
38 Richierich: That's smart thinking right there. I like it.
39 EddieDude: For Mexican carriers, the longest A32X flight is, if I am not mistaken, MX's MEX-YVR with a combo of A318's and A319's. How long does the flight take?
40 Rossbaku: That man did a lot for Azerbaijan! And on the subject of BMED, isn't there a LHR-SVX leg? That must be long? RossBaku
41 Mason747: If you're going to include the A319CJ, it can go transatlantic.
43 SkyvanMan: BOS-LAS was longest I've been on, flight was operated by HP
44 BAtriple7: Yes, but I didn't include it as LHR-SVX is less than LHR-GYD, at 2431 miles, 5h 20mins of flying time (it's non-stop). Still, one heck of a long stop
45 A342: It is all-business class, IIRC 48 lie-flat seats. BUT on the westbound leg, there is a scheduled fuel stop in SNN. However, if the aircraft isn't ful
46 SB: YMX closed to passenger traffic almost 2 years ago, on November 1, 2004 Back to topic: AC was talking about a standard 319 service from YYT to LHR -
47 A342: Still operating ?? It is only scheduled to begin in summer 2007 !

49 FSPilot747: Well... they did. I can't believe you'd actually know that kind of info in the first place, wow[Edited 2006-10-11 23:43:24]
50 Connies4ever: Yes, Jc, supposed to start 4x weekly A319s YYT-LHR (2012 nm only) I believe with winter sked start at month end. Next April supposed to go to daily.
51 B6FA4ever: according to the Great Circle Mapper...here are the top 10 longest range routes Jetblue flies (if anyone is interested): BOS - OAK 2694 mi BOS - SJC 2
52 AirFrance: MCOflyer is right about that. Also UA has ORD-AUA flights.
53 FlyDeltaJets: I think that you need to re-check the facts for that one. Eurofly uses the 320 for JFK-MXP which is 3995 miles according to the Circle Mapper
54 Richierich: I think you need to re-check your facts, dude. Eurofly uses the A330 to JFK, not the A320.
55 SB: Thanks for the correction. For some reason I thought it was already operating... S.
56 Carmenlu15: 126 mi for GUA-SAL, and 2089 for SAL-JFK. Quite long, but SAL-SFO still takes the cake (2640 mi). - Carmen
57 FlyDeltaJets: My facts along with my eyes are correct. The MiMo service JFK-MXP is a320 all buisness class but 320 no the less. Still DL flies no narrowbodies acro
58 9252fly: Yes,the aircraft was deployed on that route back in 2000 or 2001. The flying time was the same as LHR-YHZ. The longest route that AC still intends to
59 BAtriple7: Check your facts. You're quoting my post, which is reply 19, but the quote you assign to me is actually from reply 18, by Cedarjet. At 2749 miles, BM
60 Richierich: Then apologies. That still seems like a stretch for any A320... I do know that Eurofly definitely flies into JFK with an A330 (I'm presuming for the

64 Laxatljfkcvg: Yes I was in a 320 going from LAX to CDG we had to make a fuel stop in JFK and switch planes in rekivik!
65 Viscount724: No, the ZRH-EWR all-business class flights operated by Privatair for SWISS use a BBJ2 (737-800) not BBJ1 (737-700). They acquired the 737-800 version
