In practice, you can only (reasonably) minimize your odds of flying on Boeing. That means "no" to Southwest Airlines. It means "yes" to Frontier Airlines, whose entire fleet consists only of Airbus planes. Thank goodness where I'm located and often need to go to are well-served by Frontier Airlines!

BUT - many airlines operate a mixed fleet. Book on an Airbus. They rarely change planes, but if they do, say your prayers! Unless you have tickets easily allowing you to re-book, which most of us aren't purchasing.

That's a tough one. I care more about the airline than the airliner, and Frontier definitely is not near the top of my list.

It’s often possible to take a suboptimal route to avoid a Boeing. For example, if I fly Austin to San Francisco, it could well be a MAX, but if I go to SJC via LAX instead it is almost guaranteed not to be.

How much more dangerous is it to take two flights (and two different planes with varying ages and maintenance records, plus two landings and take offs), than to take one Boeing?
