American Airlines Fleet Boeing 737 MAX 8 Details and Pictures. American Airlines added the Boeing 737 MAX 8 to their fleet in 2017. American Airlines was the second US airline to get the 737 MAX 8 aircraft, taking delivery in late September of its first of 100 aircraft it ordered. (They’re all MAX 8 variants — the jet comes in four sizes, from MAX 7 to MAX 10, seating up to 200-plus passengers).

Both 737 MAX 8 aircraft (registration N324RA and N304RB) were placed into service between Miami (MIA) and New York City’s LaGuardia (LGA).

First class offers 16 recliner seats located in the first 4 rows. The seats of the first class have 2-2 configuration.

Passengers of the seats of the 1st row may feel some discomfort due to a slightly limited legroom because of the bulkhead located in front, lack of floor storage during take-off and landing and close location of the lavatory and galley in front.

However, passengers of these seats may take advantage of some extra personal space because there are no reclining seats in front.

The seats of the 4th row are the seats of the last row in first class section.

As there is no bulkhead behind these seats that separates first class seats from main cabin extra section passengers of these seats may be disturbed during the flight by the noise from the main cabin extra section.

Main cabin extra has 30 standard seats that are located in 5 rows per 6 seats in each. These seats are located in two sections. First section contains 3 rows.

All the seats of main cabin extra offer extra legroom and these seats may be booked for an additional fee.
