With advancements in fuel efficiency and other aircraft technologies, the increased prevalence of long-haul narrowbody flights had us asking ourselves if it would be possible to fly around the world using only single-aisle aircraft. This is something we’ll explore today, while examining which flights we might take to get the job done!
Seeing as this is just a simple thought experiment, we won’t be setting stringent parameters and extremely precise criteria. Nor will we take into consideration the difficulties and challenges of obtaining visas and meeting requirements amid various border restrictions. Ultimately, the goal is to depart one location in the world, travel in one direction, and get back to that same spot - all the while using regular, scheduled flights operated by narrowbody aircraft. We might have to skip over a few continents for our “main journey,” but we’ll be sure to mention some travel options to make our round-the-world trip a little more diverse and comprehensive.

What they’re talking about has been possible for years. Among other possibilities the airline PLAY! gets you across the Atlantic via Iceland, then several Korean and Japanese carriers get you from the Asian mainland to Guam, and United gets you across to North America via several island hopping flights. With the reintroduction of the Max, you may even be able to get fancy with it and fly around the world on only the 737 or only the A320.

Indeed, TAP Portugal has complained that it doesn’t have enough A321LRs. For instance, EWR used to be served once daily by the A332 and later the A339, and then later 9 times weekly (daily from LIS and 2 weekly from OPO) on the A332/A339. Now, it will be 19 times weekly (twice daily from LIS and five times weekly from OPO) on only the A321neo.

the way I'd do it. starting in Houston, Texas where I live. First, I'd go to Fort Lauderdale on United Airlines. likely on a 737-800 or -900 2. I'd fly from FLL to Belem (BEL) in Brazil on one of Azul's Airbus A320s. 3. I'd fly from BEL to Lisbon (LIS) on TAP Air Portugal's A321LRs. 4. from LIS I'd take one of TAP's A321neo towards Accra (ACC). 5. I'd fly from Accra towards Istanbul on a 737max8 most likely. 6. I'd fly to Almaty on Air Astana's A321neo. 7. from there I'd fly to Bangkok on the Air Astana A321neo. 8. from BKK I'd fly towards Singapore on Scoot or Air Asia or something. 9. from SIN I'd likely fly to Cairns on Singapore Airlines' 737-800 or max8 10. from Cairns i'd fly to Brisbane on Qantas or maybe Virgin Australia. 11. from BNE I'd fly to Fiji on either Virgin Australia or Fiji Airways' 737s. 12. from Fiji i'd fly to Honolulu on the 737 as well, and from there i'd likely take AA, UA, DL, AS, WN or HA to any airport in the west coast 13. from which i'd take a flight back home to Houston. here i basically hit every continent even if it was just one airport like ACC in Africa or 2 in Europe (LIS and IST).

Good idea but you forgot something United Airlines operates MNL🇵🇭-GUM🇺🇲. Basically what you do for the final leg is Bangkok to Manila Philippine Airlines or Cebu Pacific then UA MNL-GUM-HNL-LAX/SFO. You don't have to worry about the customs in Los Angeles instead you hand in the CBP form in Guam its a domestic flight from Guam to LAX/SFO. Meaning you pay the meal in economy class.

What do you mean passengers prefer widebodies? Apart from first class of big seats versus a lieflat bed, there is no real difference. Economy will be the same, premium economy will also be the same. That’s what most of the people here fly. (Also American Airlines proved you can put lieflat seats on a narrow body). I love narrowbodies long haul if they can reduce the price.

I know right, unless you regularly travel in business class, your experience won't be too different. I guess it boils down to the fact that the flying public associate narrowbody aircraft with budget airlines and a pretty subpar travel experience, whereas widebodies are associated with long-haul travel with some of the best airlines out there, as well as enclosed suites, showers on board and the A380. I've never taken a narrowbody longer than 2 hours, but if the product is right, long-haul narrowbody, no problem.

Narrowbodies are slower, not only because their lower design cruise speed, but also lower ceiling. On congested routes narrowbodies are stuck below widebodies which overtake them. On long flights this can make more than half an hour of difference in flight time. Furthermore the generally higher cabin altitude on narrobodies makes for a more exhausting ride.

It is possible, if you start from LA, you could first fly to any city in the east coast of US/Canada on a narrow-body jet, then hop on a flight to western Europe(jetblue, aer lingus, tap air portugal etc.). Next you hop on a series of narrow-body jet flights that could bring you to the philippines, then take the flight PR110(operated by philippine airlines) to guam, then take the united airlines "island hopper" UA133 flight to honolulu. Finaly you fly back to LA on a hawaiian airlines A321neo.

A common aeronautical requirement for circumnavigation would be that you must cross all meridians in one direction, travel a distance of at least 36,787.559 km (the length of the Tropic of Cancer), and complete the journey at the point of departure. Flying to LHR and PEK would fall short, but this itinerary would meet the requirements for official circumnavigation, based on the options mentioned in the video: LAX-JFK-LIS-IST-NQZ-BKK-MNL-GUM-TKK-PNI-KSA-KWA-MAJ-HNL-LAX The total distance comes out to 36,838.055 km.

Well.. Going back to pre 1969, narrow body was really the only option.. well sort of (There was prop wide bodies but they was quite rare) Even during the 1970s and really quite a bit into the 80s, the 707 and DC8 did service most routes. While the 747 and DC10 (and that is really quite it) did cover high capacity routes in the early 80s. While the L1011 and A300 did exist, there fairly short range really mostly put them on continental services. In mid 80s we see the 767, still with a tad short range, and not capable of intercontinental service yet. and 757 and later A320. What really change the situation from really 747 and DC10/MD11 being the go to wide body was the A330, A340 and 777, the later introduced with "Engine turn or passenger swim" feature. This was really when 707 and DC8 was beginning to be phased out rapidly. Have to remember, that despite being from the 1950s, the 707 was produced until 1978 and then with a range of 5000nm, way more than both 757 and probobly more than A321XLR. So the long haul narrowboddy is actually nothing new. It would take 10 more years until the wideboddies was truly dominating the medium and long haul fights.

Glad to see someone else who has a memory of flying the world in the B707, DC8, and other single aisle aircraft, or if not a memory, the knowledge that such was the norm until the advent of the B747. It amazes me that so many people comment on not wanting to fly long haul on single aisle aircraft, believing that twin aisle aircraft are more comfortable. My view is that comfort is determined by seat width and seat pitch, and not the number of aisles, as I spend upwards of 95% of the time seated during the flight. I also prefer the option of a direct flight, which is becoming a greater option with the re-introduction of long haul single aisle aircraft.

@@The_Red_Squirrel More interesting is that the fuselage is exactly the same width in a 707 as a 737max... and.. a A321neo is... well not a lot wider, but a bit. And the A220 is per seat even wider. Really anoying when people watch movies and say "wow how wide those seates are"... when they just have wider backrest. I never flow a 707, i did fly a DC8 once in the very late days. But what people don´t think about is while the 747 was really quite popular even from the start. Between 1969 and 1979 there was still only 35 747 build per year. It was first really during the 80-tys that the production ramped up. and even more so during the 90-tys (at least early part). Of cause when the 777 came along the sales dropped quite fast and the 747 gone back to replacement rate. Of cause also, prior to somewhere in the mid 90s, flying long range was not really common for the middle class. Between 1994 and 2000 the total flying passenger km increased more than from the dawn of time (Well really 1903) until 1980. That just happened to be the time when there was many wide-bodies around. Not only was the MD11 and the 747 still under production but also the A330, A340, the 767 and the 777 all started with in 10 years or so. Personally i really want to put them in 3 different categories. 8 wide, 9 wide and true 10 wide. A330, A340, 767 would be 8 wide. MD11, 777 (and L1011, A350) would be 9 wide. 747 and A380 would be true 10 wide. The 777x is sort of 9½ wide.

Right, this video needs some work. You've missed a number of connections between airports in Asia, and surely the whole point of this exercise would be to not have to switch airport within city?

By experience, narrowbodies dont handle turbulence that good. Besides, economies of scale dictates that widebody airliners are better-suited

Economies of scale have been upended with the introduction of such aircraft as the A321LR due to their greater efficiency. They are more economical to operate on leaner routes. Also, most passengers would prefer to fly direct rather than have the inconvenience of one or more stop-overs.

@@papatango2362 Aside from preferring to travel at the pointy end on flights 7+ hours, flying for that long in a narrow body, with usually just two toilets for cattle class, and having to deal with meal service aisle blockage... no thanks. I might consider JetBlue or AA A321XLR in a 1-1 pointy end suite... but if the same route has a wide body, I'd still rather fly on that...

If you want to get to get to your final destination in the shortest time, direct flights are the best option, and newer more efficient aircraft, such as the A321LR, are increasing the available options in that regard.
