Boeings New 737 Max10 "The Evolution of Comfort Flying"

It's all about the money folks. Enjoy the old new way !

Boeing's new 737 MAX 10 has room for 230 passengers and can fly 3700 miles !
And it's going to be so comfortable too quite possibly the most economical and profitable single isle aircraft ever made. Better start losing more weight lol 😂 and bring those seat pillows because you just know that the seats are going to be lighter in weight, and like sitting on cement for 3 hours.

I have a pillow now that I stick in my Tumi hard case carry on or backpack depending how long I'll be gone. Anything over 2 hours I pull it out. I don't fly main cabin but rest assured the seats up front aren't much better

Same. I've been a huge advocate of the Cocoon brand. After going through 20 different pillows it's the only one to make 7 international trips with me laying in it in Business lay flat seats (2 fill the crevice). It never broke, I just lost it. I usually keep 2 of them with me in my TUUUUUUMMMMIIIII back pack.

i agree 100%, however tickets are much cheaper today for economy class so to the comfort/space is still relative to the price you pay generally.

International F and BC on the other hand is not comparable to the 90's offerings which were pretty bad.

A single isle airliner that carries 220+ pax is going be a miserable experience for all. 20' to get it loaded and other 20' to get off the damn thing. The flying qualities of the 737-900 are poor enough all ready so one would have to assume that the -10 is not going to better. Shame on Boeing and the airlines for driving this hulk to the market place. And it;s still only a M.78 airplane.

I remember when a major auto maker I worked for got two then new/best 737 BBJ's back in early 2000's to replace old MD-11's I think it was. Based on 737-800 I believe....now they are made to look old!

One Xmas Eve I was the only pax on a hop back to STN until minutes before push back when another guy joined. Lost out on the jump seat on that flight!

The MD11 was not an old airplane back in the early 2000's. and I'm not sure why you would buy a BBJ to "replace" a 737?

Looking forward to 73 Max's, also,a huge fan of 73 series. I'm guessing he will see these on the trans con routes and down South America, replacing the 75s and 76s

That will be the day ANY 737 replaces a 757
