Here is what LUV had to say about it when announcing the change in orders from -700's to -800's:

"...Kelly said the current plan is to take the 20 aircraft in 180-minute ETOPs configuration. The aircraft "would bring us to more distant markets like Hawaii, Cancun, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda," he said..."

So... who gets credit for the -800?
