Hi,
I am pretty sure that I flew OA B737 (can't remember version) in 2003 (I flew it 3 times) and it had 5 abreast in coach! I couldn't find any info on net but I hope that there is somebody that can help me identify or prove that there is a B737 with 5 abreast in coach.

It had engines on wings ! and the 737 was written on safety-card (i think it was 400 series). I was traveling with 2 relatives and we couldn't sit on the left side because there were only 2 seats... my relative also flew on the same bird and I remember the pic of 5 abreast in coach.

Quoting HeeBeeGB (Reply 7): No OA 737 has ever had 5 abreast seating in Y so you didn't fly an OA 737.
End of debate, next question?
Although I wasn't in aviation at the time, I clearly remember that engines were on wings, and that it had 737 safetycard! It also didn't have OA 717 livery.

I've been on an SA 738 with 5 abreast in C so perhaps you were actually in C and just forgot? Here's a picture just in case someone wants to see what a 737 with 5 abreast looks like.

Mate, perhaps you were on it, I honestly don't know. But what I am convinced of is that I flew on an Air 2000 A321 with RR engines - a clear impossibility. I was pretty young at the time, so it was either a 757, or I am mixing up the engines with the next aircraft on the ramp. Are you sure it wasn't perhaps a widebody, or something?
Brian.
Next flights: MAN-ORK-LHR(EI)-MAN(BD); MAN-LHR(BD)-ORK (EI); DUB-ZRH-LAX (LX) LAX-YYZ (AC) YYZ-YHZ-LHR(AC)-DUB(BD)

It can't be because I was at the back of the plane! and the ticket was pretty cheap.
btw, the routes that I've flown are BEG-ATH-BEG in june/july 2003 and ATH-GVA in late 2003.

I'd wish it was a B717 (one of my fav planes), but it certainly was a 737. Perhaps it was a charter version (but it was a scheduled flight)?
According to a.net photos, the OA aircraft that have visited BEG in the summer of 2003 are:
