Q I want to fly to Oslo in April 2020, but I don’t want to fly on a Boeing 737 Max. I called Norwegian and explained all that. It said it no longer flies Max aircraft, and that it would be a Dreamliner. Is it giving the Maxes back to Boeing? I have read they will be flown at the beginning of March 2020. Confused!
