Cabin Layout
Interior Specs can be found here https://www.aircanada.com/ca/en/aco/home/fly/onboard/fleet.html
- Window seats may feel narrower to come as the armrests are placed "into" the "curvature" of the cabin.
- Seats with no windows feel even more narrower as there is no space created by the curvature of window.
- All bulkhead seats have very limited legroom.
- Seats 15A, 16A, 16F, 17A and 17F have limited windows.
- Exit rows 19 and 20 have more legroom than regular preferred seats.
Routes
The 737 MAX is designated to replace the A320-series. Based on announcements and schedule updates, the following specific routes will be operated by the 737 MAX in future:
YYZ-LAX (periodic flights)
YYZ-SNN (new route)
YUL-DUB (new route)
YYZ/YUL-KEF (replacing Rouge A319)
YYT-LHR (replacing Mainline A319)
YHZ-LHR (replacing Mainline B767)
Hawaii Routes YVR/YYC (replacing Rouge B767)
Many domestic trunk routes (YYZ, YVR, YUL, YYC) now operated by 7M8, replacing A320 family

Air Canada stated (01-Dec-2016) it has positioned itself to be flexible with fully unencumbered, older aircraft in the event of an economic downturn, with a "sizeable" amount of staggered leased aircraft expiries. The carrier noted the staggered Airbus narrowbody lease expiries give it the opportunity to manage capacity as it transitions to Boeing 737 MAX aircraft.

I'm so tired of the aging 320 family fleet, I can't wait for the 737s. I don't remember the last time I got on a 319/320/321 and everything just worked properly. The power outlets are often a problem. Sometimes it's the IFE. Maybe the reading light doesn't work. Worn-out, uncomfortable seats even in J. And so on.

exactly - I've flown in plenty of very nice A320/319's on LH (who BTW are completely B737 and 777- free .. surprising for a major airline). AC could have gotten new 320's and -neo's.

I first flew on a 737, LH, in 1972.
But yes, we are looking forward to the CSeries.

LH does have the 737. I was on one of them last summer or did they retire them this year? Also, LH has a large 777 order in place.
