Primarily wide-bodies; a few single aisles here and there.

The ones I flew on were a A330-300 and 757-200. Itās mostly based on what airline you fly on, some airlines use different aircraft

Usually: A330, A340, A380, 747, 757, 767, 777, 787.
Rarely: A350, A319, A318*, 737
Iāve made this a wiki so you can edit it.
*(although BA uses the A318 for long haul from London to New York.)

Aircraft that have the range to not get wet and are ETOPS certified. š

I wasnāt aware of anyone else using the A318 for TATLs apart from BA. Also who uses A319s for TATL flights?

West Jet used a 737-800 a few weeks ago for their St Johns to Gatwick/Heathrow Route (7 hours)
Air Canada uses them from St. Johnās to Heathrow Iām pretty sure. But theyāre in the rarely category so thatās fine

I swear other some other Airlines do this as well (use a318 as TATL planes). Not many though.
I donāt think I can think of another airline using A318s for TATLs. The A318 is pretty rare anyway.
Still not sure who uses A319s for TATLs? I know about westjet and the 737.

I think SAS might
No they use a 737 for their TATL flights.
The Neo and Max are supposedly going to be popular for TATL flights. The bean counters boast that with 15% better fuel economy the jets will be able to ājust make itā from coast to coast. I donāt know about you guys but Iām not too interested in sitting 7+ hours in a narrow body, one aisle jet. Especially with the lack of leg room that these models come with.

A318/319/330/340/350/380/ and B747/757/767/777/787 are the ones I get over my house on their way to the US
Same here, but itās an interesting concept.

767 and 777 are really common. You may see an occasional 747 or 787, or even A330. Rarely a 757. Yeah but mostly 767 & 777
