About the Air Canada Boeing 737 MAX 8 Layout 1
Air Canada's Layout 1 Boeing 737 MAX 8 carries 169 passengers across two cabins: 16 in Business Class and 153 in Economy. Business fills rows 1 to 4 in a 2-2 layout, then Economy begins at row 12 after a long forward service core.
The strongest seats in this layout are the bulkhead seats in row 12 and the exit-row seats in rows 19 and 20. Row 18 sits immediately ahead of the exits and can feel tighter on recline, while row 37 is the noisiest row because it is partial and sits beside the aft galley and lavatories.
