Aircraft Type

My friend has a flight from LBB-DAL on Jul 31, it says that that flight number for that rote has a max 8 scheduled for it. Since that flight number for that route has a max 8 scheduled, is it most likely going to be a max or is there no telling if it will become a -700 or -800?

the max 7 and 8 are  airplanes. the Boeing 737-700 and 737-800 are too.

When booking a flight, under the flight info it will list the plane type. Southwest operates an all Boeing 737 fleet consisting of the older NextGen models: 737-700; 737-800; and the newer MAX models: 737 MAX 7; and 737 MAX 8. They are supposed to start receiving the 737 MAX 7 aircraft this year. So if the aircraft listed is a 737-800, you'll be on that. If it says a 737 MAX 8, you'll be on a MAX 8 and so on.

I think you are asking if the plane type can change? It can, but what's scheduled is what is shown. Plane swaps do happen so there's never a guarantee.
