United is too busy slaughtering itself.

Interesting! You have lots more time on your hands than I do!! But nice catch on that. Should show up on Alaska's world in a few days? Now if we could just add Costa Rica and St. Kitts then we would have something!!

Costa Rica makes sense, but St.Kitts in the caribbean island???

United will slaughter them here.

United is too busy shrinking themselves out of existence to slaughter anyone. You haven't been to the North Satellite in SEA lately, have you?

You would love it!!!!!

I KNOW I would, How much further is to St. Kitt's from CUN. Would the 800 make it? I guess ETOPs fuel not required only Class II nav; doable.

Its 3474 miles from Seattle with about 12k on the payload. Would have to make a fuel stop in MCO or MIA.

The island is beautiful. I`ve been there many times. From the USA, ETOPS is not required. Distance from Sea-Tac to Basse Terre, St. Kitts is 3930NM. St.Kitts is located 180 mile southeast of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Alternate airports could be Antigua 63NM or St.Martin 97NM. Alaskan pilot would love the overnights. But, do not know if the 737-800 does have a Non-stop range.
