But routes that are seasonal tend to be leisure-oriented. Business-heavy routes (the only ones that could possibly support ULR) tend not to be seasonal. Thus, I doubt that this A350-900 "flexibility" will be used -- except when converting ULR -900s back to regular once their previously flown ULR routes are discontinued due to impossible economics.
