Air Canada Boeing 737 MAX 8 seat map

Air Canada ROUGE Boeing 737 MAX 8, the reconfigured leisure layout that entered service on 2026-03-05: 12 Business / 165 Economy = 177. Air Canada’s press release publishes the cabin as “12 Business Class seats, 18 Preferred seats offering extra space, and 147 Standard Economy seats” (12 + 18 + 147 = 177). Following the Air Canada house convention (ac-789-298), the 18 Preferred seats are NOT modelled as a separate cabin/zone because Air Canada does not publish which rows they occupy; instead the structurally roomier rows — the Economy bulkhead (6) and the two overwing exit rows (12) = 18 — carry an extra_legroom flag and are noted as the Preferred seats, so the whole 165-seat Economy cabin resolves to the Y tier in cabinSummary. RETROFIT: this config is created by reconfiguring the 45 mainline 737 MAX 8s (config ac-7m8-169, 16 Business / 153 Economy) and transferring them to Air Canada Rouge through the end of 2026 (replaces ac-7m8-169). The ROW GRID IS DERIVED: aircanada.com seat maps are JavaScript-rendered and competitor seat-map sites are prohibited. DERIVATIONS: Business 2-2 rows 1-3 (columns A/C/D/F) = 12; forward galley/lavatory divider after row 3. Economy 3-3 rows 10-37: rows 10-36 full (27×6 = 162) + row 37 reduced to 3 (right triple D/E/F displaced by the rear galley/lavatory) = 165. Row 10 is the Economy bulkhead (Preferred, extra legroom + bassinet); overwing exit rows 16 (forward, non-reclining) and 17 (aft, full recline) are Preferred; row 15 sits directly ahead of the forward exit (limited recline); wing band rows 14-21. Overwing exit stations come from data/window-grids/737-max8.json (Boeing MAX ACAP); actual row numbers and monument positions may differ from the physical aircraft. All pitch/width/recline are unpublished and flagged unsourced; windowAlignment is left ‘unknown’ for window seats because a derived grid cannot prove window-to-seat alignment. NOTE: these Rouge flights are operated by Air Canada Rouge (a subsidiary) but sold and branded as Air Canada and inventoried under the Air Canada carrier code, so the instance uses airline AC per the existing corpus convention (e.g. the legacy Air Canada A319/A321/767 Rouge seat maps).
