[Andrew Johnson]

no they only had wide bodies from memory A300's & A310's I think.

It's obvious they have their dates mixed up, the DRW fuel stop was never mentioned there a few weeks back.

There's no way BNE-DPS would take 7.35 without a fuel stop.

DJ do it in 6.30, I doubt the A320 can fly that slow to drag it out to 7.35

Then I would wonder if an aux tank can be installed in a B737-800 to increase its range?
Or as the plane becomes heavier that adding more fuel tanks will decrease its range?
Finally, I just wondering should Virgin Australia and Qantas consider to buy the B737-700ER with standard layout. Because its 10000km or so range will enable Virgin and Qantas to launch some Mid-Haul Asian and Pacific routes, such as SYD - PPT, SIN - HBA, HKG - CNS, SYD - GUM, HKG - HBA etc.
