There was a map the other day that I saw on a message board where a 737-800 was going MEL-HNL-LAX

That would be an interesting journey in a 738. Some passengers may have to be stowed in the overhead compartments or under seats.

Or following the example of Jet Blue, time for a lavatory ride.

And if they are as lucky as Delta they will discover a deceased passenger in the lavatory shortly before touching down.
