I know thee are two seating configs... But are there certain 763's do and certain that do not have winglets? Why?

14 PMUA 767-300's have both winglets and the new two class PMCO style interior. The winglets save fuel on long routes. I would expect to see these airplanes on long thin routes that can't support a 777/747.

Well short of it - in still air it's about 1000nm less than its maximum range with a full passenger load, and even westbound with headwinds that would be significantly below the max.
Here's Boeing's range chart from LAX (closest to SFO they have): http://www.boeing.com/boeing/commerc...sangeles.page?

That's what I meant to ask in my original question.
