When, in the 1960s, the Boeing 737 was first conceived, its designers surely could not imagine the compact twin-jet would routinely be shuttling across the North Atlantic. But here I am aboard a transatlantic flight from Halifax in Nova Scotia to London Heathrow. The Air Canada Boeing 737 Max is perfectly comfortable for a flight scheduled to take six hours – because this is a daytime departure and I will not be trying to sleep in the uncomfortable confines of an economy class seat.
