In December 2019, United Airlines placed an order for 50 A321XLRs, which is Airbus’ new ultra long range and fuel efficient evolution of the A321. The plane entered commercial service in late 2024, with Iberia and Aer Lingus being the launch customers.

So interesting reading the comments on here. Some people are.. let's say very "passionate." People take airplanes because they're traveling somewhere far away, not because it's fun and comfortable. If you don't like how this plane is set up, take a different one. That's how capitalism works!

Looks beautiful and herringbone seems superior to reverse with window access and head being positioned away from the aisle and noise. Certainly better than recliners. Also, this is a choice between these and a connection, not this and a wide body. Simple economics of long thin routes. United is hitting on all cylinders.

@ Tim: Is the evidence in the room with us right now?

Oh, I have replied to him. He just doesn’t know how to use the tools available to him. As for you, the evidence is available for all to see. A Brit that can’t use English is an embarrassment to the empire

Walter Mitty Dunn, your assumption that I am something other than a born and bread English Gentleman, is proof, if proof was ever needed, that you are incapable of rational thought. Spend some time replying to Eskimo, who has been repeatedly asking you for clarification of one of your posts. Clearly you will attempt any diversional tactics to avoid giving a truthful answer. Rest assured that nobody will ever accuse you of being a gentleman Walter.

So will the seats in the terminal when Delta cancels another flight. And the seats on Delta's 767s WILL have to be comfortable - because you will spend more time in them, since Delta has a worse on-time rate too.

Just as I thought. Repeat assertion, ignore the data, double down on inaccuracy. The DIFFERENCE between Delta's and United's baggage handling IS a fraction of a percent. 0.35% to be exact, YTD 2026, on the latest statistics available. DOT data. Read the above post again. I laid it all out for you. And I never denied that United is currently last. They are, as a whole. But you are making a new, wrong assertion again, which the data easily refutes, again. "...It is getting worse, not better, relative to the industry" Nope. Not true. United is getting better relative to the industry (bigger improvement than Delta and American, YTD YOY). Here's the "big 3" data: United, YTD 2025 vs 2026: 0.85% vs 0.80% / 0.05% improvement Delta, YTD 2025 vs 2026: 0.47% vs. 0.45%. / 0.02% improvement American, YTD, 2025 vs 2026: 0.67% vs 0.77% / 0.10% decline United had the highest improvement, and there's zero way you can claim they are "getting worse". American did that, not United. So you are wrong, yet again. Better have another cup of coffee. Going to be a long day for you.

@ Tim Dunn -- We're waiting to learn which EWR-LAX frequencies UA operates with 737-900ERs, please!! These are the important details!

@Tim Cut the BS. Either admit your mistake (I'm giving you an easy exit short of calling you a liar) Or point.me and the rest of us to the exact date and flight this happen. And I quote some idiot...with some edits of my own... "Like everything else, pretending it DID happen because you CAN'T FIND the data changes nothing"
