Air Canada Boeing 737 MAX 8 (7M8, 169 seats)
169 seats: 12 good, 10 mixed, 12 to avoid
Best seats
- Rows 19–20, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy Class): exit row on Air Canada's table: extra legroom. You must be willing and able to help in an emergency, and bags go overhead for take-off and landing.
Seats to avoid
- Row 18, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy Class): directly in front of an overwing exit row, so recline is likely limited or blocked.
- Row 36, seats D, E and F (Economy Class): next to a galley, with light and noise during service
- Row 37, seats A, B and C (Economy Class): last row of Economy Class, with lavatories or a galley behind it: recline is likely limited and there is traffic and noise.
Copa Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8 (166 seats)
166 seats: 24 good, 16 mixed, 12 to avoid
Best seats
- Rows 6–8, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy Extra): economy Extra: more legroom and more recline than the Main Cabin, near the front for a quick exit.
- Row 18, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Main Cabin): second over-wing exit row: extra legroom and normal recline (likely). You must be willing and able to help in an emergency.
Seats to avoid
- Row 11, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Main Cabin): row in front of the over-wing exits: recline is likely limited, and it gets none of the exit row's legroom.
- Row 34, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Main Cabin): last row, against the restrooms and galley Copa draws at the tail: queues and noise, and recline is likely limited.
