Air Canada Boeing 737 MAX 8 BUSINESS CLASS | Toronto to Calgary
Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 08. 2024
- Air Canada introduced their Boeing 737 MAX 8 into their fleet in December 2017, and with this came a redesigned single-aisle Business Class cabin with 16 recliner-style seats in a 2x2 configuration.
In August 2018, I decided to spend a bit extra to experience the newest addition to Air Canada's fleet in their Business Class from Toronto to Calgary! The aircraft I flew was just two months old at the time of filming, and it showed.
Is Air Canada's Business Class on their 737 MAX worth it? See what I thought of it in this new trip report. Hope you enjoy!
Thanks for watching!

Wonderful trip report, Alex! That seat looks amazing, and that new IFE is incredible. Beautiful camerawork as always, and the quality of this one was top notch! Job well done!
I cant even afford coach but ok 🤪 neds more carbon tax
At least yours didnt fall out of the sky
Should be required reading.

Nap it will not Canada pilot are smart and they still fly the aircraft czcams.com/video/HrlG-mHuebg/video.html
Nap MONTREAL, Jan. 22, 2020 /CNW Telbec/ - Air Canada today said that it has now removed the Boeing 737 MAX from its operating schedule until June 30, 2020.
I got my popcorn ready
Chad Markz lol I agree
Glad your 737 MAX didn’t CRASH like that Lion Air plane did. Also glad Boeing has fixed that problem with the plane so more 737 MAX planes can get back in the air!

Beautiful trip report Alex! I just love listening to those engines on takeoff!
Thanks Alex for this great video showcasing Air Canada’s Business Class. It really looks like a great place to sit! Looking forward to more of your YYC spotting videos!
I hope they fix the problems with this plane. It's a beautiful bird that needs to fly, but it needs to do it safely.
Honestly I would pay every dollar I have to stay of that plane
Indeed. Amazing plane!
I hope that plane never rises to the skies again
@@chadmarkz4334 I don't know how I'll fly on 777X and other Boeings after this...
They're actually retiring a few of them.
The best review ever....
Only tried Y class on the max, all I’ll say is I purposely book the Airbus flights to avoid them. IFE was great though!
Awesome job Alex! The new cabin looks spectacular. It's modern, it's clean, it's Canadian! Awesome job documenting as always. Keep up the good work!
Man what a wonderful sound during takeoff! That's why I like to seat before the engine at the window seat it doesn't matter the type of the aircraft jet. Beautiful sound. Congrats for this nice trip report
Oh whoa! Your camera has amazing quality probably the best I've seen yet. Glad that it's from fellow Calgarian.
18:11 Wow! Look how fast those spoilers work!
Yep, they open alot quicker then Airbus or Embraer
Great Video Alex. Thoroughly enjoyed it. You have put it together brilliantly. Been looking forward to this video for a while. One of your best yet.
Thank you Daniel, much appreciated!
Wonderful trip report as always!
That mini Ge-90 sound on approach 🤗
Fantastic video man! Enjoyed it! Liked!
I have flown the 737 Max up front twice on AC this year. Best parts are the overhead bins and the screens (same size as in the pods up front on the 777 and 787). You can get spoiled by the new planes. And I hope AC brings the new map system to the 777/787. This week I flew to Florida in Premium AC Rouge on a 767. Similar seats but of course no screens and I forgot how small the bins are.
Fantastic review of this flight. I’m looking at reviewing AC’s B737 MAX 8 on a transatlantic flight and was curious to see what it looks like. Thanks a lot for this video!
Thanks for the video for the next time improving the service to travel with fully confidence and secure our trip.
Fantastic Tripreport mate! I think this business class is amazing, I really love the cabin of AC‘s MAX, thumbs up! :)
The best Air Canada 737 MAX review out there! Thumbs up definitely!
Thanks Alex. Yet another great, all inclusive review of an Air Canada flight. I found it informative with a lot of information on the new “Max!” Being tall has its advantages but, I guess not so much on a cramped aircraft. Anyway, you didn’t really complain.🙄. Looking forward to your next review. Cheers, Colin.
You freakos are not entitled to anything!
Want more legroom? PAY. UP.
I was praying for you the whole time XD
I'm Loving this trip report video already.
Amazing planes Alex! 🔥🌫
Hope you do get your 747 wish. My wife and I flew non stop Seattle to London UK in 1973 when we were very young on a PanAm 747 fantastic. Also had several occasions to fly in other various configurations including a Lufthansa (Business Class) and an Air Canada Combo London to Toronto. Always a special experience. Thanks for the videos. We are booked on a 737 Max in Oct YHZ to VVR non stop BusinessClass Thanks for the videos. Cheers and safe flying.
Thanks for a pleasant flight. Its good to find someone who doesn't let the text commentary foul the youtube time line.
The seat you flew in and the service you received are identical to those I had on the Air Canada 737 Max 8 service from Toronto to Shannon and back, in September. However, on my flight it was called Premium Economy. I had booked business class in the spring, but when they put the Max on the flight, they refunded me about $2000 because they said the new planes were not equipped for business class. For all intents and purposes, it was similar to business class and I enjoyed both flights thoroughly.
With regard to the Lion Air crash, it’s fair to say that a whole cascade of events occurred, one of which was Boeing’s failure to tell airlines about their new MCAS system. Decisions were faulty at Lion Air too. But it does not appear that there is a fundamental design flaw in the aircraft. I refer you to Mentour Pilot’s channel for an excellent discussion.
The engines sound a little like the 787 engines! awesome airplane! i think i flew over 400 hours in flightsim with this aircraft and still think it is one of the best planes in this era
U risked ur life
Glad you survived the danger plane.
Once sat next to a 7"2ft basketball player on long-haul economy.. don´t even know how he was able to move but I guess Businness Class is the way to go if you´re able to afford it :)
A wonderful report, thanks!
You got some balls flying on that casket with wings.
I took the B737 MAX 8 too, it was the best air canada plane I took, the screen is great and everything else. (I took the plane to Montreal to Calgary)
YOUR LUCKY TO BE ALIVE FLYING ON THIS MAX.....BOEING SCREWED UP BIG TIME
awesome video! Luckily the MCAS didn't kick in....
I wish AA kept this IFE on their 737 Max, 737 Oasis and 737 Kodiak aircraft!
can't wait for the Max to get back in the air, again. While I am still angry at Boeing for what they did to the C Series Program, I am certainly looking forward to flying onboard an Air Canada 737 Max.
I AM FROM THE FUTURE OF 2019 at least the engines did no LEAP off
2020: Oh, you sweet, summer child...
GREAT VIDEO!
Great trip report
those seats look barely a step above coach but spread out a bit. The meal looked great!
Looks great!
Why are people, moaning about the 737 max didn’t the 787 have loads of issues when it first came out didn’t the A380 also have issues when if first come out
Carl Watson so two planes crashing with 100 people in each that could have been avoided if Boeing trained the pilots to turn off that system the made the nose of the plane dip is just an issue??
Neither of those 2 planes had fatal crashes, genius.
awesome camera. feels like the viewer is riding with you. cute latino music @ 7:05 but too short...touch screen is off the chain..wonderful job. great description all the way..im an avionic tech and pilot too
Amazing report! Hoping to get my own reports to that quality :)
I’ve never been in t1 I always fly westjet so I fly through t3, I want to see what it looks like last time I was there t3 was in renovation, awesome flight review though I was looking forward to it as always
Our all family flew on march 2018 the same route and let me tell u that airplane smelled like a brand new car...sorry airplane. The entertainment for kids was amazing.
Good move going with business - economy is super cramped even for a 6 footer.
Looks to me like a premium economy seat!
LUCKY you lived
Great video, Alex, except fot the ads! Were you flying on pass?
@Alex Praglowski Aviation: Great trip-report, nice engine sound, but what about noise canceling insider the aircraft? Any advantage compared to older series of the 737? What would you say? A320 neo on the other hand is much quieter, so how does boeing compete?
Yup going with Boeing 737 Max 8 all the way.
Thanks! Haven't flown a neo so I can't say, it is definitely quieter than previous 737s though.
Flown on A320neo, the engines sound a bit different, but after all, I would say pretty much the same. Although the wider seat on A320neo is a nice feature for us economy class folks.
Nice review and must be nice flying on a pretty new model aircraft ( sorry Calgary didn't get Winter Games! ). This is from T1 in YYZ? I haven't seen information signs like this before, unless I've never acknowledged them 0:16 They look stylish and different!
Great report. I have make the same route twice with same AirCanada but unfortunately both were in an Airbus A320. Look forward to fly in a B737-8 Max but it will be in WestJet.
You were very lucky, I think
Wish to travel thru soon Inshallah Air Canada is comfortable for Traveling
Fantastic trip reort Alex. Just as well those delays didnt stop you from missing your 737 MAX flight. I absolutely loved that window view from 4A. The cutlery with ACAs logo and so on all made it look very special indeed.
Food looked awesome. Well done and very well put together. Look forward to more of your trip reports in the future mate. Liked 😊✈
Great review. Love the new screen and IFE review...being airplane geek...that could get me yz to yc easy just that with real time rending/rotational360x360; )
“i’m in danger”
For the same price you can fly on a wide-body plane YYZ to YYC and enjoy the business seats that recline completely
Westjet’s new 787 ?
You should come to CYVR we have some really nice planes that fly into here
love the new boeing 737 max 9s with allaska airlines they also fly the max 8s as well i believe air canada also uses their max 8s on transatlantic flights over the atlantic to dublin ireland they certainly have the range for it from halifax. great aircraft however with the lion air max 8 crash in indonesia lately theyll have to find out if was problem with instrument readings by crew? that aircraft was only in service for a few months.
Great video! Question....how can you tell the difference between a 737 MAX, a 737-900 and a 737-800?
The engine, apu and winglets. The max as the new cfm engine with a new blade technology can't miss it lois they're bigger. They have the distinct new winglets that rise above and below the wing and the apu unit to the back looks narrower compared to the NG 737.
you should see air canadas business class in the 787/ 777
Nice video
Awesome trip report! Throwback to when I flew WestJet's MAX, YYC-YOW, it was really quite nice. Economy doesn't feature IFE, but even still, the service was great, and I was lucky enough to get a full power takeoff. Gotta love those LEAP-1B engines eh?
Alex thank you for the great video. However for what one pays for business class it looks small compared to what business class used to be not too long ago.
This model 737 Max 8 has problem. Over 300 people was kill in 6 months. Would you fly with this model ?
Absolutely!
Two crashes out of the hundreds of thousands of 737 max 8 flights. Its a pretty reliable and nice plane.
The The they werent human error crashes tho, mechanically issues
it's safe now. but airbus has killed people too
These seats are basically the same as Premium Economy. Good to know AC still has IFE. I hate this stupid "BYOD" trend.
whats up with the wifi?
Thanks for the video. Coming from Calgary myself - I love West Jet. But Air Canada seems to be gaining traction again ! Hope to fly one of these bad boys soon.
Very impressive with the IFE compared to most of the AC Business I travelled on. I flew from ORD - YYZ and always get bored since there is only few shows and music on their tiny screens. I wish they could use 737 on that route since it is so popular.
I am going to calgery in a few days
Have you ever been in the lav on a Bombardier CRJ. I am cramped at 6’, you would really suffer.
Awesome trip report! You're soooo tall btw
Cod looked wonderful!
Alex, did you seat 4A have less recline that the other seats in Business Class. Ps- Excellent video. The 737 is supposed to be an excellent plane, no?
At 0:54 you passed the gate that my flight to Montreal (connecting through montreal to go to ft lauderdale)
"Brand new" business class is the pod seating for the international flights
The new international pods were introduced in 2014 on the 787s. This seat was introduced in 2017.
Just discovered your channel and subscribed. What kind of camera equipment do you use for filming?
A beef I have with AC & WestJet is that neither of them showcase Canadian wines on their alcohol menus unlike other international airlines I've flown on. Lufthansa showcases german wines, Air France will have mostly french wines, even British Airways will have at least one British wine on the list. Much to my surprise IcelandAir had an icelandic wine on their menu. Wasn't half bad; on the dry side though. The Canadian airlines have every other countries wines on their menus but no Canadian ones. And our wines consistently win international awards. Shame on AC and WestJet.
I had the same gate on my trip from yyz to yvr
Hi Alex, is there enough legs room for a 6foot 6 person on the max 8 and I like yr vid.
They did the same seats as American Airlines' new Business Class/Premium Economy seat. Sad!
Between the overhead bins being lower and the seats being smaller, there is not aircraft more claustrophobic.
i wouldn't go near that model plane until the cause of the crash that killed 189 passengers was defined and a fix was developed, tested and completed..
the plane model is now safe. fixed. anyway so has airbus killed people
Miss your narration 😢
windshear on short final?
No leg room in economy. My knees were pressed up against the back of the seat. Have only experienced this on discount airlines.
You get tablecloths? 😧
Not a product. Marketing has got you using their (incorrect re-invent the language) terms. Products are goods, services are not. Good videos.
Sweet!! cant wait to see them in Jamaica. Think this the best 737 Max product out there with Copa and Icelandair just behind. Not really sure if the lav size was due to the airline or Boeing but one thing for sure, it can be bigger.
ground them now!
NO!
@@Adamm0896 Yes
why
Alex: good vid!!! Nice airplane, I love airplanes my father was an aircraft electrician. 6-8 eh, you must have a bitch of a time with modern day cars??? What do you drive an old Continental???
Great trip report.
The New Boeing Max 737 has a serious angle of attack sensor problem which likely caused the fatal flight of Lion Air recently. New technology that was rushed out to meet deadlines, which has computer flaw just like autonomous driving on the Tesla cars. No Thanks.
Trial and error paid by human lives.
Can we ... not start that here?
Even as a fan of Boeing sorry to say but I feel the same way. That unprecendeted event shook me in a very bad way!
The report Boeing came out with that was given to all MAX operators said that the issue was most likely a maintenance flaw.
smh!! not now. It was a maintenance issue. If it was an overall problem with the Max, we would had been hearing and seeing other airlines coming with problems. Despite it being a fault that wasnt fixed, Boeing issued bulletins to 737 Max users on how to deal with the problem if it does arise.
Incorrect, the crashed was caused by both an angle of attack sensor and the pilot failing to react properly by hitting the trim reset button which almost all other 737 MAX operators' pilots have been trained to do (United etc.). Blaming that the fault was entirely the 737 problem shows a narrow scope of view and failing to understand the entirety of the problem
That looks like 767 you may be wrong!
Just came back to compare with the new a220/bombardier c series and this doesn’t stand a chance in comfort. Tiny windows, narrow seats, and loud cabin noise.
Nobody can beat Copa’s 737 max business class. Lie flat seats on short haul flights!
Otherwise known as international premium economy.
