How do you know the plane model before you board? It's not shown when buying the ticket, it's not written on the ticket either.

You can avoid airlines that have the 737 MAX in their fleet (domestically, the biggest are United, Southwest and American). Whenever I fly I fly Delta, and I’ll never fly on a MAX because Delta doesn’t have any.

i booked a boeing 787 dreamliner but ended up in a crummy 777 from a decade ago.

It should be there among the flight itinerary data, often hidden behind an accordion or tooltip.
