I recently flew on a MAX from ANC to SEA. Both Alaska Beyond entertainment and satellite Wi-Fi functioned properly.
In agreement with the other comments, the cabin was very warm and I don't like how weak the air vents are. I recently flew on the A321 for the first time and was impressed at how strong the air vents were.

Once my plane tail# is made available a few days before a flight I check here and it's usually pretty accurate: https://alaskafleetstatus.weebly.com/

It's fairly accurate but I have been burned a couple times with the flight being listed as 2Ku enabled only to find out it has no over-ocean wifi.

1F doesn’t recline only when the cabin crew lock the seats. All kidding aside that has to be a quirk since all of the First Class seats do recline.

Was on a new max 737-900 SEA-KOA on 4/1.
Agree on weak air vents / hot, and the FAs said because the plane was so new they couldn't make coffee or tea.
While I normally wouldn't care, I had been counting on that coffee on my long trip. Wish I knew prior to boarding.
