Air Canada's Tango, using A320's with a Y class only layout (159 seats plus 5 crew) from YYZ-YVR (2,178 miles as the crow flies) frequently has load restrictions, requiring (so a Toronto Star reporter wrote) that some passengers had to move around for load-balancing, and that some luggage is frequently left-behind. LAX-BOS is how many miles? >> LAX-BOS is around 2900 statute miles, so it is well within the realistic range of the A320 with a full load. I believe HP's A320s fly with 150 seats, F and Y.
