  1. Max 8 planes are plenty going to Hawaii from Canada , Air Canada and Westjet. I’m kinda freaked out – heading to Maui in May on one… 😳

    1. I’m going to Oahu via Vancouver and scheduled to fly on 737 Max 8 in April. Seems like that’s all Air Canada uses from YVR. Now I’m on the fence about cancelling and rebook on a different airline.

    2. Yes I flew the 737 Max 8 from YVR to OGG (Maui) Air Canada late January both ways. I was a nervous wreck as I knew it was the same aircraft as the Lion Air crash and the same aircraft that also turned around half way on route to Maui Christmas Eve for “ technical issues” … now after the Ethiopian crash I wouldn’t dare step foot on one of those planes until the investigations are concluded. It’s just not worth the anxiety until they are cleared as safe aircrafts.

      1. Amy: Did u fly AC or WJ out of Vcr? Scheduled for Maui in early Aug. (hopefully all this worrisome safety business will be cleaned up by then). Our WJ tix say 737-800 series, but honestly, airlines have been known to change planes spur of moment, so am worried nonetheless. Unfortunately, can’t change the tix or airline (won in a contest), so we’re stuck.

  2. I have flights on AA for.this September and I have to say I’m concerned. Thank you for addressing the issue. I wpuld.hope these Airlines Publicity say these plans are not flying to Hawaii or anywhere in these planes.

  3. Air Canada offers nonstop flights from Vancouver to both Honolulu and Maui and both utilize the 737 Max 8.

    United does fly the Max 9 from LAX to Maui.

    I’m willing to take my chances on the 737 Max 8. I know Southwest has ordered quite a few of these planes and I hope the recent events won’t further delay their nonstop flight release out of Sacramento and San Diego. Any thoughts on that? Do we know if those schedules were also planned with the 737 800?

  4. Air Canada flies the 737max almost exclusively from routes such as yvr to hawaiian islands….

    friends of ours just cancelled and paid penalty $ due to horrible safety record of 737max

  5. thanks so much for clarification.

    I visited SeatGuru to see what equipment my two upcoming trips (including Hawaii) had this morning. Thankfully all legs are on 737-800 and 737-700.

    Now back to SW announcing flights to Lihue …. LOL
