Dubai - Lisbon Expedition in B738

Hello!

 

The expedition event to Lisbon from Dubai happens in just under two weeks and I'd like to take part in it. An issue I have, though, is that the Boeing 737-800 doesn't have the range to fly all the way without stopping somewhere. Even running without any payload, the current weather data puts the needed minimum ICAO-regulation fuel almost two tons above the plane's capacity.

 

I want to fly the B738 because I have Zibo's mod for it for X-Plane 11, I know how to handle the plane and its' systems, and it runs well on my computer, even with many other planes around.

 

Do you have any ideas of stopovers for fuel? Somewhere in Greece maybe? And what do I put in the flight number field of the booking if I want to make it in two legs?

 

Any discussion would be appreciated, not only for me but for other pilots I see have booked the journey in a B738.
