SW flies the Boeing 737-300, a short to mid-range plane which has a max range of 2600 miles.
-------
They will not be flying that older version. They just took delivery of their first new, stretched 737 Max 8. Boeing makes a MAX 7, 8, 9, 10. Range is not an issue as the MAX 8 and Southwest is to take delivery of 50 more of them in the next year, phasing out their older 737 300's.
Wouldn't surprise me if they fly it to Honolulu for Wednesday, to show it off.
