At longer range flights you need to increase your seating capacity to make it a viable route. So a 777 with 200 passengers wont make much, because the aircraft itself can be configured for more seating. And you need bums on seats.
Also the 737-900 can carry almost 200 passengers on its own for a short haul, so you really need at least 300 pax for a "decent" return on long haul
flights. Also dont forget to increase standard cargo loads for your aircraft. By taking cargo along with your PAX, you can vastly increase your
income. Since many "long haul" aircraft hardly ever reach its MTOW with just PAX seating you can add extra cargo to your payload model. As long as you stay below MTOW and MLW it wont be a problem.
