On domestic and short transborder routes, Air Canada Business on the 737 MAX 8 is a recliner product in a two-two layout. Lie-flat seating appears on Air Canada's long-haul widebody fleet, not on this aircraft.
Air Canada offers Preferred seats and Comfort seats in Economy with additional pitch. Exit rows also provide more legroom but may have limited recline — worth checking before selecting if you value both space and reclining.
The MAX 8 has a quieter cabin than the Classic 737 variants it replaced, and the cabin air system is the same as on the 737 MAX family generally. Seat pitch varies by zone, so the specific row matters more than the aircraft type for day-to-day comfort.
