The Air China Boeing 737-800 carries 167 passengers across Business + Economy. Every seat is rated below, so you can see which have the legroom, the window alignment and the quiet — and which sit next to a galley or lavatory.
The seats rated best on this map are 1C, 2A, 2L, 21A, 21B, 21C. Another 20 seats are rated best or good. Look for exit rows 21, 22 and 12 extra-legroom seats for the most room.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 17A, 18A, 18L, 20A, 20B, 20K. Another 12 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
This version has a smaller Business cabin and a couple more Economy rows than the standard 737-800, so it carries more passengers. The seat types are identical; only the split changes, which the map shows per flight.
The over-wing exit rows are where it sits, flagged on the map. They are the best Economy pick for space, with the usual limitation of nothing at your feet during takeoff and landing.
The rear rows by the galley and lavatories catch the most noise and queueing, and some have reduced recline. The middle of the Economy cabin is the quieter place to sit.
