I always wondered about the relatively large capasity, weight, price jump Airbus specified for the A321.
The 737-800 and -900 both are inbetween the A320 and A321.
Ryanair, Easyjet and Jetblue seem to have asked for a 199 seat aircraft. Probably because of lean cabin crew rates too.
Thousands of first generation A320 will be replaced in the coming decade. It seems a new A320 has become a kind of smallish during the last 25 years, the A321 way bigger, heavier and more expensive.
Could an inbetween A320 Plus finally be under consideration?
