The Southwest 737 MAX 8 Experience

My last flight of this Tampa Take 2 Trip was supposed to be aboard a regular Southwest B737-800...until suddenly a MAX 8 appeared out of nowhere giving me my first ride aboard their newest plane! And man was it a treat to fly. Didn't really know what to expect when stepping onboard but the cabin certainly exceeded my expectations and the MAX is now by far the best aircraft in Southwest's fleet. Hope you guys enjoy!

I also didn't even realize it was a MAX from the outside, but on the interior it looks pretty cool too. I'm a big fan of Southwest as well, will probably see if I end up flying one of their MAXes in the future.

    Just flew the MAX-8 for my first time in N8815L. Interior mostly same as the 8H4’s except as your notations and also cabinet between doorway and main cabin up front quite similar as the 700 series where as the 800NG’s have the half cabinet quite similar to the old classics now retired. I truly love the quieter LEAP engines.

I must say when I first sat down and noticed the plane model I was super nervous b/c of the craziness that was happening with the MAX 8’s The take off was very smooth… the MAX was literally eating the CLOUDS ☁️ LOL As for landing 🛬… this is the loudest engine I’ve ever heard and it had some sort of roller coaster effect when breaking. It literally thrusted my body forward 😂😂😂 none of the passengers were expecting that we kind of chuckled and made eye contact with one another. I love SWA

    I was honestly shocked when he announced he was going to move to California. I pictured him living in Alaska, New England, Chicago, New York, the Pacific Northwest, or any music-centric city in the South, but I never pictured him living in California. Then a few weeks after the move, he made a video about that, and it made sense to me. He moved to San Francisco for a new chapter in his life in grad school. He had the choice to spend grad school at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, but he decided to move to San Francisco instead because he wanted a big change. San Francisco is also music-centric, which benefits him as a musician.
