December 13, 201114 yr Try the Virgin Samoa (old Polynesian Blue...a subsidiary of Virgin Australia which flies for Samoa) NSFA - YBBN flight. a little over 6 hrs (I've done this twice for work...looooooooooooong flight on a low cost airline). I don't know how much gas is left in the tank at the end but I'm sure it wouldn't be much. Flown in a B738 I understand. J Thomas YBBN
December 13, 201114 yr Interesting post in Wikipedia. Several 737 listings, along with many other aircraft/airlines.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-stop_flight Dick Parker in Northeast Ohio USA Windows 10 64-bit | Nvidia GTX 1080 | ORBX | P3D 4.4.16.27077
December 13, 201114 yr Not a real world flight, but I have done Manchester to Boston. Full fuel, 3/4 load, landed with 8000lbs, cost index 20. Could maybe go to JFK but then you are low on reserves. -Iain Watson-
December 13, 201114 yr I do know GOL, from Brazil, does some flights from SBGR to Venezuela...pretty far I guessEduardo Rubini
December 13, 201114 yr DL does MIA-LAX as well. Going to do CDG-TLV tomorrow in the 739. Might need a tech stop in ATH. Eric
December 13, 201114 yr WestJet does plenty of YVR-YYZ (~1800 NM), and YVR-HNL (2350 NM) routes as well. Patrick Houghton
December 14, 201114 yr KLM663 from EHAM to KIAH is around 4470nm.http://flightaware.c...e/flight/KLM663 That was a joke. It is impossible. I ran FLight Plan at work today with only 9000 payload and 15 mins contingency fuel, no extra, and it gave me a message- Required fuel exceeded specified FOB or TANK capacity. Even 757-300 did not fit that way, too far. B737 max range 3,440 nautical miles per Boeing.

BBJ, maybe? PrivatAir is a charter, I think. i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB

December 14, 201114 yr I've seen the plane there a few times at IAH. It's a real flight AFAIK. FYI it is a PrivatAir 737-7AK BBJ -- registration HB-JAA.That doesn't sound right. Boeing limitation of 737-700 (it is shown 700) is 3,440 nautical miles (6,370 km) or 3,958 statute miles. It traveled 5147 SM. They might have had extra tank hidden somewhere, I am not sure where... I have just asked our pilots at work and they told me, that I was on a crack today If it was BBJ, that make a difference, that bird has longer range up to 6,200 nm, but not 737-700.

KLM discontinued it now and is going to operate it's own planes on the route now
