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

But to say you're better off with 31 inch pitch on airline/aircraft X than 30 inch pitch on airline/aircraft Y is a stupid comparison unless you also have full measurements of the seats.

And anyway, for those of us who can't/won't cut a piece of our legs, there is the option of buying seats that will accommodate our (uncut) legs.

I'm struggling to conceive where adjacent rows of seats may not be identical, as pretty much all seating classes are separated by bulkhead structures or other breaks in the cabin.
*OK, you've gotta have very tall knees to conflict with screens, I admit.

this was in no way a jab at the staff that actually work on the aircraft. For the most part they are great.

These recent posts are great and informational. A couple things I am keen to learn wrt AC's 7M8:
- If row 1 J has a footwell / recessed storage like some Airbus configs.
- General feel of privacy in the J seats.
- What the emergency exit rows will offer over the remainder of premium economy. For instance row 19 on the embraer is still one of my favorites for the pitch but also the shallow ridge running the length of the fuselage that I can discretely raise a leg up on when seated at window.

When AC released the Dreamliner 787-9, they posted 31" pitch but then had to change their seating map to fess up that many of the Y seats were really 30".
Now, with the 787max, will seats end up with 28 or 29in pitch?
Nothing wrong with fitting in more seats at all... For a 1 or 2 hour flight.

Yea, the AC seatmap is identical to the UA 738, except AC managed to squeeze in 3 more Y seats

Those seats will likely be held for airport assignment in only given if necessary or used for crew rest on longer flights.
Downside is the lavs will be tigheter.

The extra three seats were able to be added because AC has opted for split lav/rear galley configuration with the 2 rear lavs at very back of the aircraft.

2. I wonder how disability and/or baby change friendly those little lavs in the back will be. I've been spoiled by the big J lavs on widebodies for changing diapers.

I do like what appears to be an actual wall/bulkhead between & J, rather than the short curtain on the A319-21's.

Just a different Ocean. 737's have been crossing the Pacific to Hawaii and beyond for a while know. Compared to the A319 operating YYT-LHR, it's technically an upgauge based on configuration.
These aircraft will be life-raft equipped and have more ovens to facilitate International service.
I can envision these aircraft touching down at:
KEF/BFS/GLA/MAN/BHX/LBA/ARN/OSL/OPO/PDL and on the other end:
HNL/OGG/KOA/ITO
