I very much doubt it, they don’t have the door, well Ryanair do but Tui don’t
We’re flying with Tui. Reported this morning that the CAA have written to airlines. Seemingly there are no registered MAX 9s in the UK, but where will our MAX 8 be registered?It wasn’t a door that blew out anyway, it was the dummy door panel.
There's already a thread up in Boats, Trains and Planes about the entire MAX series.
YMMV, but I'd not want to be boarding one...it seems pretty clear that Boeing have been lobbying hard (FAA and Senate) to be allowed to get those planes moving again, and I'm not convinced they haven't cut corners in the name of profit.

Thanks, I’ve seen it now. Way too many of them in service now to be able to avoid them unfortunately.YMMV, but I'd not want to be boarding one...it seems pretty clear that Boeing have been lobbying hard (FAA and Senate) to be allowed to get those planes moving again, and I'm not convinced they haven't cut corners in the name of profit.

We try to fly EasyJet or BA neither of which have them. Maybe looking at Iceland next year and will avoid Icelandair as they do have them.So, they can be avoided, you just need to pick and choose the tour operator / airline.
we cancelled a Canadian holiday a few years ago as it was a max 8.
We have made the decision not to fly a Max, looks like we were justified.
Also, those on the Alaskan plane were extremely lucky that it happened around 13000 feet,
if was at 35000ft a considerable number would have died and it would
have been touch and go to have a safe landing.

I'm the same. I have regularly flown on Ryanair's 737 Max 8, but I won't be flying it again till Boeing really do more to take these issues more seriously.

What would you do if one of your flights was changed onto a max? We have made the decision not to fly a Max, looks like we were justified.

How do you know a considerable number would have died if it was at 35,000 and that a safe landing would have been touch and go.
Sounds like you’ve made a decision and this is confirmation bias.
If the aircraft was changed to a Max 8 I wouldn’t go, my life is worth more to me than a couple of hundred quid.
