The A340 will be phased out with the A350 coming in. And the 737-600 has already had their retirement announced. Basically being replaced by A320 NEO.

For the relatively short flights that some of the 737-800 perform it is doubtful if there is any benefit from adding the winglets. For the domestic 747-400 the winglets were removed due to the short flights. I know that is a different plane, but still quite interesting.
