LH have a Frankfurt-Pune flight. 738

Passenger max around 60 I believe.

That's another Privat Air BBJ route.

transair flew amsterdam to canada in the past using a 737-700.I think it was charters for hunting trips.

At certains Times, in the winter, there are huge numbers of flights from scandanavia to the Canaries. many are A330s etc but there are quite a few Norwegian. I have seen several passing over Cavan, all 737s, usually from smaller airports in northern Norway. Flightradar usually quotes a flight time of 6hr to 6hr 30 . Far too long to have my ass in a seat like that

You might not say that when you are enduring a perpetually dark winter. A 6 hour flight is evidently a price (along with the fare) that many from Norway are willing to pay in order to get some sun.

French Airpost will begin seasonal flights from Charles De Gaulle via Glasgow to Halifax in Canada using a 737-700 in a 128 seat 2 class layout beginning in July and ending in October.

Would it not be empty as a delivery aircraft and stopping in Bangor to refuel?

It's definitely delivery and it may not even have a full cabin fitted

Thats only 2,500 miles. Thompson airlines flies to sharm el sheik from Belfast with a 737-800 which is 2,700 miles.

I'm sure any airline could quite easily fly to boston at 2,900 miles. I am not sure what longest route is.

I think Alaska airlines flies some routes to Hawaii that reach 2,900 miles.

Think the longest Ryanair one is TFS-NYO (Tenerife to Stockholm). Scheduled as just over 6 hours and just over 2300NM great circle distance.

But its an EI reg plane so shouldnt you use Irish miles ?

Firstly, no. Nautical miles are used everywhere for this.

Secondly, an Irish mile is over 2km, its an archaic measurement used by nothing at all. Legacy use of miles here (roadsigns etc) use statute miles.

Woke up in the small hours today with one thought :

Do TOM sometimes run 738s MAN - SID ?

Aah right, would say that is probably possible with certain restrictions.

We will have to check with Hobbs.

Its possible in theory anyway, the runway in SID is nice and long so its good from a takeoff performance point of view when taking a large fuel load and shouldn't be an issue for range. Probably not possible to sell all the seats though.

Yup! ( unless Hobbs is a commission agent ) ( Though they must manage to get some takers to schedule a trip every week )

Danbo!

Not the longest but I was surprised to see the SEA-EWR segment of a trip I took in feb was using a 738 (united) at ~2,500 miles. Expected a 757. Scheduled at ~5hrs ended up closer to 5hr 30mins.
