738

Now that the 738 is grounded 737 800 series, will there be people bumped as I believe the older version of the plane is smaller.  Is there a way to find out how full the flights are?  I was scheduled to fly tow 738's this weekend which obviously are not going to be the equipment that will be used.

Just to clarify...where you scheduled to fly the 737 MAX 8 or the 737-800?  The 800s are not grounded.  If you were scheduled to fly the MAX, SW is re-accomodating passengers at no additional cost.  See here.

SW's 737-800 and 737 Max8  both seat 175 passengers.

 

As a point of reference 738 means 737-800 while 7M8 means 737 Max8
