Avoid 17A, 18A and 18L (no window at this seat position), 20A, 20B, 20K and 20L (seat may not fully recline), 28A (reduced window views), row 36 (near lavatory) and row 37 and row 38 (immediately adjacent to lavatory).
The Air China Boeing 737 MAX 8 carries 176 passengers across Business + Economy. Power is available on this aircraft. Seats are 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, 11C, 11J, 21A. Another 20 seats are rated best or good. Look for exit rows 21 and 22 for extra legroom. The map marks 18 seats with extra legroom.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 17A, 18A, 18L, 20A, 20B, 20K. Another 20 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
The MAX 8 has newer, quieter engines and a more modern cabin, in the same two-cabin shape as the 737-800: a two-by-two Business up front and six-abreast Economy behind. Seat choice works the same way on both.
The over-wing exit rows carry the extra legroom and are the standout Economy pick, marked on the map. The trade-off is that you keep nothing at your feet for takeoff and landing.
For a domestic or regional route it buys a wider two-by-two seat with no middle and a proper meal in the air. It is a sit-up seat, so on a short hop the value is the width and the priority lane, not sleep.
