In some places of world being on time means within the same week

On topic: Really depends on the type. 737 is so common that all airports (even most military places) than can accomodate 737 in terms of runway and taxiway length/width and apron strength, tend to have a towbar for 737 as well. At the smaller airports, there are no nose-in parking stands, so no need for a towbar anyway.
