717 - doesn't really go west of the Mississippi
220 - doesn't leave the country
737 - doesn't leave North America
757 - doesn't leave Florida (ha ha ha). Stays north of the equator and western Europe
Reroutes happen. Some are just more unlucky than others. New reroute rules start Aug 1 so it may be less or at least you get paid if it happens.
