Copa has also begun adding the MAX aircraft to its fleet.

The GOL flights, fortunately, are of not much use to me, so the problem of getting their site to work either thru URL or their app has no impact.

It's good to know 737max is a wide body aircraft (2 isles).

737 Max is a single aisle aircraft.  The picture above isn’t accurate.  But look at the one line above the picture. It says, traditional 3 seats on either side of the aisle.

Right, the photo in the article appears to be a 787 Dreamliner.

I think the photo below represents what GOL is calling "premium economy" in MAX.

There are few "new" things.  Years ago some interiors on 727's would allow the center seat back to fold down into a table top.  But this was in the days before deregulation of the airlines.  Most steady travelers, like me, considered it a bad flight if there was an occupant for the center seat.  Often I had a whole row to myself.  During those days on domestic flights I never had to make a reservation, just show up and get on.  I carried the full size OAG (Official Airline Guide) in my carry on bag to choose my flights.  Also you generally knew who you were going to ride by the city.  If going to PIT it would be Allegheny, ATL  Delta, LAX United, etc.
