What you had left was about right if you had a clean landing and a tail wind. This is what you need to factor in, if you have to do a go
around you could be looking at adding half hour extra on your flight time, so that's going to burn 1 fifth of what you burned already extra,
which would bring you close to your margin, if you then had to go around again it's going to be bye bye 737 & pax. You need about 1 hour
extra flying time on your fuel, I'm afraid it's something that takes a bit of figuring out to do correctly, because you have so many factors,
there's no hard and set answer especially in flight sim for how much to take, real pilots have access to weather reports as well, so know
whether it's going to be head/tail wind on the journey. It's pretty safe to reckon on a 50 Kt headwind in FS, that seems to be around the
average windspeed in my experiance, though in the past I've hit 90 Knots headwind before. My advice would be on average you want
enough to go around twice, unless your going to Las Vegas, then bank on even more go's, I got three the other night and finally got fed up
and dumped it on the other runway which was consistently clear of traffic. Darned fool controllers
