Frequently asked

What does the MAX 8 change over Shenzhen's 737-800?

The airframe, not the layout. The newer engines run noticeably quieter, which pays off most in the rear half of economy, where the noise lands hardest on the older jets. The seat numbers and the advice stay the same.

Where are the best seats in economy on the MAX 8?

The over-wing exit rows for stretch, though a few seats hard against the hatch keep little of their recline, and the forward rows if getting off quickly matters more than legroom.

Does the MAX have windowless window seats too?

Nothing like the walled-off pair on one of the 737-800 fits, but one seat does sit beside a plugged window with a reduced view. The seat map flags it, so a quick look protects your window choice.
