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 wish I could still remember my first anything.
I can't compare to the current Airbus generation, I haven't been on one. I just wanted to relay my general observations, based on my first AC 7M8 experience. I acknowledge that I am comparing new to old. I still enjoyed the plane, though.

No, it doesn't. There is no space for it.
Sure it does. Otherwise there would be no way to install a modern high bypass turbofan on an antiquated airframe.
New winglets. New wing - absolutely not.
One of them is the new tailcone. I'm certain there is a practical reason for it, but it looks good too.

It is similar to a retrofit that was widely applied to a bunch of DC-9/MD80s. The newer CRJs also saw their tailcone redesigned to a similar shape. Seems it's only for the 748 that Boeing did not bother redoing the tailcone.

Yes it does! The MLG is new and had to be changes due to the increased weight of the motors. The MAX-10 will have different MLG from the -7,-8 and -9, the -10 will have levered MLG.

At first I had assumed that they were using the same split scimitar winglet as on newer NG's but it is indeed a new design. Interesting article here:
Boeing 737 Winglets
New wing or minor tweaks to the wing like the Airbus NEO?

The 737-10 MLG is telescopic in order to maintain a semi-decent rotation angle.

My parents flew this in Y and gave me their trip report. They LOVED the screens, and the look. They are both very small so no issues with room. They did however mention how the seats were so much harder than the blue ones, both wished they had a cushion to sit on. Really loved the overhead bins.
They said they'd prefer the E90/Airbus just because of the hard seats.

I was fairly happy on my YYZ-YVR on preferred seating Y on this plane the other day. Plenty of room, the seat was fine, and the IFE was very good, albeit bad selection. I do agree that the Y lavs are pretty miserable, and are set up to stay dirty by mid-flight. For flights under 4-5 hours it's more or less fine. Will miss the Airbus planes of course, and looking forward to having the C series in the fleet.
