Are A321s on 2000+ mile routes a good idea?

I would recommend a Cessna 404

I think the a380 on short routes are an excellent idea
Such as the a380 on Berlin Tempelhof to Dresden
You can turn up very big profits


Small planes on long routes are okay, but think of this: what if you run out of slots on your terminal?
I went very close to running out of slots in Charles de Gaulle (that was quite bad) most people already know as I started a topic about it. What happened was I was spamming high demand routes with small airplanes causing me to increase frequencies and reduce slots.
Small planes on long routes are okay if they are low demand, but if they are high demand with expensive gate lease costs (maybe Beijing to Tokyo or Chicago to Los Angeles) then it isn’t such a great idea

The bigger the plane, the higher the profit per seat. If you could, do A380. but of course, not all routes could accommodate that, so go for B747-400 instead, or at least B777-300.

It depends on the demand, like a smaller plane on a route such as London - Dubai would not be as good as putting a larger plane due to the high demand. But a route like, Hartford, Connecticut - Shannon Ireland would have less demand so you would make much more money in a smaller plane because you would fill up the plane.
