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

I have photos of cabins and seats from a few different airlines. Many are blue. Some people like the color, others don't.

Here is a short post from May 2017

The real reason airplane interiors are blue

AC has their new color palette and I'm sure the plan is to have all of the new aircraft interior have a similar color scheme. That would obviously also apply to crew uniforms as well.

So the article states that the colour blue represents competence and dependability, yet AC is moving away from a blue palette both inside and out. Take from that what you may.

Correct, 309 is a YUL-YVR flight, currently operated on an A320, and the flight is indeed showing as a 737 MAX 8

As was I, from the people who wear the maple leaf roundel, those tasked with servicing it, and those who assign the gates.

I hope you don't think the 13th is the first flight.
