When a heavy jet is the right call.
Choose a heavy jet when the passenger count climbs past nine, the sector crosses an ocean, or the trip simply has to feel like an occasion — Miami–São Paulo, LA–Honolulu, New York–London. On domestic two-hour hops the premium over super-midsize buys little; over water or overnight, it buys sleep, a second crew and a galley that serves a real meal.
