SEATTLE, Jan. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Boeing (NYSE: BA) and Continental Airlines (NYSE: CAL) today celebrated the delivery of the airline's first Next-Generation 737-900ER (Extended Range) airplane. With this delivery, Continental becomes the first airline in the Americas to operate the 737-900ER, a higher-capacity, longer-range derivative and newest member of the Next-Generation 737 airplane family.
Continental was the first airline in the Americas to order the 737-900ER and currently has 26 more on order. Continental this year expects to take delivery of an average of two-to-three new Next-Generation 737s per month, which includes a mix of 737-900ERs and 737-800s. The airplanes are part of Continental's comprehensive fleet strategy, which focuses on improving operational efficiency and customer comfort. "Continental's new 737-900ER will have among the lowest operating costs in the industry and allows us to build upon our efficient Boeing Next-Generation 737 fleet," said Larry Kellner, chairman and chief executive officer of Continental Airlines. "These aircraft are part of our continued focus on fleet modernization, fuel efficiency and delivering the best product in the business." "With more range, outstanding reliability and the best operating economics of any single-aisle jet in its class, the Boeing 737-900ER is an ideal fit for Continental's growth plans," said John Wojick, vice president of Sales, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "These state-of-the-art Boeing airplanes certainly will contribute to Continental's continued success." Continental's 737-900ER is configured with 173 seats in a two-class layout, with 20 first-class and 153 economy-class seats. All of the airplanes are equipped with performance-enhancing Blended Winglets, which improve fuel efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions by up to 4 percent. In the past 10 years, Continental has recorded a 35-percent improvement in fuel efficiency, mainly as a result of fleet modernization. Launched in 2005, the 737-900ER increases the capability of the Next-Generation 737 by carrying more passengers and flying farther. The 737-900ER incorporates a new pair of exit doors and a flat, rear-pressure bulkhead that allow a maximum capacity of 220 passengers in a single-class layout. Aerodynamic and structural design changes allow the 737-900ER to accommodate higher takeoff weights and increase its range up to 3,175 nautical miles (5,885 km). To date, eight customers have placed orders for 169 Next-Generation 737-900ERs. The 737 is the best-selling commercial jetliner in history, with more than 7,600 orders to more than 245 customers around the world. Boeing has more than 2,000 unfilled orders for the airplane with a value exceeding $145 billion at current list prices. SOURCE Boeing; Continental Airlines

Tommy, nå må du fortelle hvor forskjellen på en 739ER og 752 ligger med tanke på komfort. Har 75'n bredere kabin? Høyere? Stillere? Har den bedre luftkvalitet? Mindre vibrasjoner? Seter, benplass og lignende ting har ikke noe med dette å gjøre. |

Jeg har aldri vaert ombord i en 737-900ER, men alle andre 737er. Det virker paa meg mye trangere enn en 757.
Det sier vel seg selv at et splitter nytt fly har bedre luftkvalitet, dog naar jeg flyr med UA velger jeg selvsagt 757 foran 737. Seter og setup har alt med saken aa gjoere. Disse flyene har midre F seter enn sine forgjengere noe som betyr mindre sjans for oppgraderinger. 757 tilbyr BF seter som ogsaa er aa foretrekke. Er ikke CO flyer og flyr ikke coast to coast. Hadde jeg gjort det hadde jeg akkurat som du styrt unna 739ER flygninger og satsa paa 757 eller 767 med BF seter. |

Tydeligvis er dette med trang kabin veldig subjektivt, fordi bredden er den samme for 73 og 75....Boeing kjører standard bredde på sine NB 727 - 11' 7" 757 - 11' 7" 737 - 11' 7" 727 - 11' 7" 707 - 11' 7" Tall liker vi mye bedre enn synsing ![]() |

Jeg synes både 800W og 900W er utrolig flotte å se på!

Två motorer till och en HF-antenn så har man en 707... storleken är ungefär densamma.

Winglets gjør 737-maskinene noe mindre stygge, men pene er de fortsatt ikke.

757 er vel akkurat like bred som 737 3,5m eller 11,7 feet. Så det er akkurat like trangt i en 737 som en 757...

Selv om bredden er den samme, får jeg unektelig et inntrykk av at 757 har en mer kompakt kabin enn 737. Har muligens noe med takhøyden å gjøre?

Det varierer fra interiør til interiør, og nyere fly gir ofte en romsligere følelse (ref 777-style)

Det synes jeg man også merker når man sammenligner 737CL med 737NG. NG virker større, selv om det er et opptisk bedrag, da den ser mer moderne og lysere ut.
