You will see them on “random” route 1-2x a day to CUN. 1x a day to MIA. Sporadically on other routes such as JFK, SJO, CCS. There are probably a lot more, these are just the ones I have noticed
Looking at award flights to South America, it seems that SCL and MVD are also destinations with CM's lie-flat seats. But for SCL it seems to be only one out of the handful of flights that uses the 737MAX9. While for MVD and EZE the majority of flights is flown with the new seats. Is there anyone here who can speak more reliably about the consistency with which CM uses the new machines on these routes and how reliable it is to make such a booking? I know, I know, there is always sudden plane changes possible, but how often does that actually happen in your experience? I hope in the long run CM wants to offer lie-flat consistently on the longest routes, so I'm eying on a late summer/autumn booking, hoping to surely relax in a proper C hard product.
