After being joined by another MAX, TUMW, for a few weeks, it looks like they’ve both left NCL this weekend, leaving 4 737-800’s.
does anyone have any insight - are the models totally interchangeable (I’d read cabin crew could swap between them, is it the same for pilots following its reentry into service? ) or is the max taking a break from newcastle.

I have a recollection that it's partly to do with BRS giving an environmental discount to it's airlines, hence why all of BRS Tui short haul fleet are Max's. Money talks!

Thanks for the comments above.
one of the swap outs appeared to cause maximum disruption to the passengers by diverting TUMJ to EMA on its return to NCL. While I appreciate most won’t look at FR24 or these forums so will be none the wiser that wouldn’t be my chosen end to a holiday - bus up the M1/A1 in the early hours!!

Ah, that would make sense! Thanks. Driving up the a69 early yesterday morning it was just clearing.
Do you know why TUMJ didn’t return then? Nb one of my child hood dream jobs was to work on airline ops hence the questions - just curious!! The BRS comment makes sense as that’s where TUMW ended up.

Random spotter question but what is the difference between a TUI Extra Space and a TUI Extra Legroom seat. The extra space are slightly cheaper but don’t appear to be exit seats

Extra space means no one in front of you but not necessarily extra legroom like a bulkhead seat, extra legroom is exactly that seats with a bigger pitch including exit rows.
Hope it's not like other "extra legroom" seats I have encountered on the 787, charging extra for them, where the window (actually there isn't one) seat is squashed in by the inwards bulge in the cabin wall lining which surrounds the door frame, plus in the absence of drop-down table trays from the seat in front, they are in thicker armrests, reducing the seat cushion width even further. Such seats should have a reduction in cost, not an increase, and come as an annoying surprise to any who have paid more for them.
