Flying the 737 transatlantic

This is bit of a silly question but i'm just wondering how do they fly 737s from Seattle to somewhere in europe if an airline in europe ordered one? Could it make the transatlantic flight without refeuling and if it does refuel where abouts.

Thanks in advance,

Hafez

Ryanair normally use RYR01P. Most other airlines use there callsigns, all the airbus deliverys through or over PIK certainly do.

I work B737's on scheduled trans-Atlantic services every day; only this morning I worked Lufthansa and Swissair flights....not that unusual....and of course BBJ's.
