DALLAS – The most-sold commercial aircraft, the Boeing 737 series, has an average range of between 5,000 and 7,000 km, depending on the variant. With this range, most commercial flights last a maximum of seven hours, depending on weight and other restrictions.
The 737-800 has a maximum fuel capacity of 6,875 gallons, which it carries in fuel tanks in its wings, as seen here, and in a fuel tank located underneath the passenger cabin's midsection. Fully loaded, the jet can fly up to 3,159 miles without refueling.

789 Mach (530 mph) – compared to . 745 Mach for earlier 737 models. The Next-Generation 737 airplanes are capable of cruising to a maximum altitude of 41,000 feet, compared to 39,000 feet for the competition.
The pressurisation system of all series of 737 ensures that the cabin altitude does not climb above approx 8,000ft in normal operation. However in 2005 the BBJ was certified to operate with a reduced cabin altitude of 6,500ft at 41,000ft (?P of 8.99psid above 37,000ft) to increase passenger comfort.
