KAYAK has reported that people in the USA are filtering out 737 MAX8/9 flights now in ever increasing numbers. (Orbitz and Expedia have followed KAYAK's lead and added filters to filter out this plane.)

IMO, It's only a matter of time before public pressure forces either the government, or the carriers themselves to ground the planes.

Even if customers don't have safety concerns, the stories if 737 MAX 8 flights being turned around midair are surely causing people to pick other jets to avoid travel inconvenience.

Is that actually an option for Kayak?

The usual sites I use to search for flights do not allow filtering on airplane type (except maybe "exclude prop planes").

After researching further, it appears they are adding it in response to this incident [1]

I had heard on my local NPR this morning that they had already done so, apparently they have just been receiving ever increasing requests for this feature.
