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 (often ~row 21) — up to ~34 in of legroom.
- Forward Economy rows — quieter, served first, faster off.
- Over-wing seats for the smoothest ride.
⛔ Avoid
- Row just before the exit row — no recline.
- Last 3–4 rows — no recline, near the galley/lav.
- Bulkhead rows near the forward lav on some configs.
Good to know
- Longer than the MAX 8 — extra rows make the tail a longer walk.
- Larger 'Space Bins' vs older 737s; same 6-abreast cabin width as all 737s.
