Best-seats guide · Boeing 737-700
The best seats on the Alaska Airlines Boeing 737-700.
The Alaska Airlines Boeing 737-700 seats 124 passengers across 2 cabins. Every row below is rated on legroom, location and distance from galleys and lavatories.
The 737-700 is the smallest mainline jet in the Alaska Airlines fleet, a shorter aircraft suited to thinner or regional routes. First occupies the front rows in a two-two recliner layout; Economy runs three-three behind it with extra-legroom rows and exit rows available within the cabin.
On this smaller aircraft the cabin is compact and the exit rows are the clear legroom standout. The front rows of Economy are close to the First bulkhead and board and deplane quickly. Because the aircraft is shorter than Alaska's other 737 variants, the rear rows are not as far back as on the larger types, but they still sit near the galley — the front half of Economy is the more settled choice.

The 737-700 is Alaska's smallest mainline jet — a shorter cabin with fewer rows in both First and Economy. That means fewer extra-legroom and exit row positions to choose from, so securing those seats early matters more than on the larger 737-800, 737-900ER or MAX variants.
Yes — the cabin has extra-legroom rows and exit rows, both of which give more space than standard Economy. On a smaller aircraft these rows are fewer in number than on the longer variants, so checking in early increases the chance of landing one.
Yes — Alaska First on the 737-700 is the same two-two domestic recliner product as on the rest of the narrow-body fleet. The cabin is slightly smaller given the aircraft length, but the seat style is consistent across the 737 family.
