These winglets are called Advanced Technology (AT) Winglets that is specially for the 737 MAX. Scimitar Winglets are made by Aviation Partners to retrofit existing 737 NG blended winglets to mimic MAX's AT Winglets. More info can be found here. http://www.b737.org.uk/winglets.htm

Boarding only starts 5 minutes before STD of 1030. VIP were invited to board first , then filling up the front first then only the back.

Checking out the seat. As this MAX is configured to complete with Airasia, you get similar view at the back seat. No PTV.

Legroom wise, quite spacious. As im 6ft tall, i have no problem crossing my leg.

Our overhead panel , you get aircond vent. Air pressure wasnt strong, can barely feel anything.

No more customer code it seems. Just 737-8.

Was the aircraft as noisy as 737-800 or quieter?

if i'm not mistaken Boeing is no longer use customer code.

you may refer to this link.
