Hi,

Which one do you think the best airline to fly to West Palm Florida?

Also which domestic routes in the US is being served by wide body jets? i struggled to find any wide body jet flights domestically and wondering why.

Hi! For PBI I would choose based on schedule and price. Nothing is going to be particularly nice to a leisure destination, and everyone uses domestic-configured narrow-bodies to PBI.

Wide-bodies are rare domestically. You’ll mostly find them on transcon routes to premium markets, mainly California to/from New York.

[USER=7]@Tiffany[/USER] – I’ve always wondered why wide-bodies aren’t flown between California and CLT/ATL/MIA. Seems like there should be enough traffic, including international connections to make it worthwhile. I do recall flying a wide-body SLC-ATL during ski season one year.

Atlanta/Miami/big hub cities get them too, just not as common.

I think most fliers still prioritize schedule so airlines are better served having multiple frequencies on smaller planes rather than a couple of widebodies for the same amount of traffic.
