I am a very nervous flyer with a stupid concern I am sure.
I am booked on a flight in June from EWR to LAS and from PHX to EWR. Continental I notice, always uses the 737-800 on both these routes while other airlines flying the same route use B757 or A320.
I also own flight simulator X and have flown the B737-800 on the same routes but when I fly the B737 I alway run very low on fuel, criticaly low. Now I know I AM NOT a professional pilot in ANY means. When I fly the route on FSX I fly at using 70-75% of the engines which may be a lot.
My concern and question is the B737 not a good choice of aircraft to fly the above routes? Has anyone had experience with these routes on a B737? Or do I look forward to having to make an emergency stop for fuel when I am on my flights in June? I know these are silly questions but I am concerned and curious. Thank You.
