Thanks. From looking at Privatair's web site, (www.privatair.com) it looks like the likely candidate is the 48-pax BBJ, with winglets, and a range of 4,000 nm. (EWR-DUS is 3743 statute miles). Can't tell what the layout is inside, couldn't find that on the site. I wonder how the fare compares with other business-class fares from NYC to Germany. I also wonder if it can be booked as an upgrade or Star Alliance award! --Michael On Tuesday, June 18, 2002, at 07:52 AM, W Wilson wrote: > ...or they should initiate a new code BBJ. > > Walter > HOU > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Roger & Amanda La France" <lafrance@verizon.net> > To: <AIRLINE@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU> > Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2002 09:11 > Subject: Re: LH running biz-class only 737 EWR-DUS > > >> 737-700 or should have read in CRS as 73G >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: The Airline List [mailto:AIRLINE@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU] On Behalf Of >> Michael C.
