Nope. I think Privatair only use Boeing now - The A319s went to Etihad I believe.

Privatair do fly Amsterdam - Houston with the 737-700BBJ though (unless that's stopped)

inducedrag, depends. Some 737 BBJ fly long flights like the above. If were talking about the standard aircraft then BA Med used to fly 6-7 hours with A320/A321s.

London Gatwick to Tel Aviv in a B737-300 felt quite long, nearly as long as the return sector!

In a similar vein.............

Its not the longest or shortest scheduled flight, in fact it isnt scheduled at all, but i`ve done RAF Finningley to RAF Lindholme in a Dominie,if my memory serves me right it was nearly 7 (yes 7 miles) no food or duty free either, in fact the cabin service was poor, and i had to keep my seatbelt fastened for the whole journey!

howard 2107,

I had to do a Cannes to Nice the other day. 5 mins. No cabin service AT ALL!

Might re-train as a fork lift driver, they get lots of tea breaks!
