Ever wondered what these things cost?

A330-200: 800K$/mo
A330-300: 900k$/mo
787-8: 1.1M$/mo
787-9: 1.25M$/mo

From the same blog post, the writer lists these discounts in 2012. He commented that Southwest and Delta got the largest discounts.



Won't post the article, in French, but this graphic shows the current state of the industry's sales discounts.



The 787 is priced very competitively for what it does. When the problems are sorted and South Carolina's factory is actually producing aircraft, then we'll be seeing an awful lot of them. The -900 sure looks about perfect for a lot of what we want to fly.

Looking at this graphic, it appears getting any 777's would be a long shot given the A330's pricing (if we acquire new ac).
