the 777 and 787 do look beautiful, but the hard reality of the prospect of looking out those windows, usually deep water, for hours on end kept peeping up in my background thoughts.

The 737 carries the max fuel I could manage: max 5 hours before one could at least get out and walk around the aircraft and breathe the local air, before the 5 hours back home, to your car, your house, your bed, with your partner, children, cat or dog, or alone.
