Typical 3-3 layout — not airline-exact. Your airline's rows, exit positions and pitch can differ; check your airline's seat map or aeroLOPA for your exact flight. Verified 2026-05.
✅ Best seats
- Exit rows (e.g. row 21 on some United configs) — up to ~34 in pitch.
- Front rows: board faster, quieter.
- Over-wing for ride smoothness.
⛔ Avoid
- Last few rows — narrower at the tail, no recline, galley/lav noise.
- Row in front of the exit row — no recline.
- Rows beside a forward lavatory on some configs (fixed armrests).
Good to know
- Bigger overhead 'Space Bins' than the 737-800 — much better carry-on stowage.
- Cabin otherwise very similar to the 737-800.
