Curious, I never want to fly in one of these. How can one achieve that in a realistic way? Let's say airline changes plane after I booked, then I wouldnt get a refund. Is there a solution to this?
- hehetrthrthrjn 6y agoIt's usually stated when you browse flights, but obviously planes can be substituted before you fly. You can take your chances. The best plan would be to avoid airlines that own the plane, but that will be impractical for most. Even then you might be re-routed onto another airline or third party plane.
- robjan 6y agoThe only way is to book on an airline who doesn't have the MAX, doesn't have them on order and has no history of wetleasing. Alternatively you can fly only on routes where the MAX is unsuitable i.e. longhaul.

- alkonaut 6y agoFly Airbus-only airlines (Which can mean having to drive or take the train if you are at an airport where only one or two airlines operate such as for example most domestic airports in Norway). You will never be able to get a refund for plane changes. Even airlines with no MAX aircraft of their own could operate your flight with a MAX if they use code share or wet lease. So while you can make your risk small, you can never be sure, without accepting that you may need to turn back at the gate. But on the other hand I assume you'll be OK with flying it once it has flown for a number of million miles in a few years from now. After all, the airlines that operate non-MAX 737's for the equivalent flights will be flying older and older craft.
