I remember seeing an Etops map during recurrent a few years ago that had the -800 reaching Tokyo. Maybe that was a little "agressive", but I wonder what the 900-ER's will be able to do?

According to Boeing's website the range of the -900ER is about the same as the -800, just more peeps. If we are going to do Asia we would need to buy a bigger plane...or another airline that has bigger planes.
