Frequently asked

What is First Class like on the Alaska Airlines 737 MAX 8?

First on the 737 MAX 8 is a two-two domestic recliner cabin — wider seats with more pitch than Economy, and a dedicated service. It is not a lie-flat product; this is the standard US domestic First product suited to transcontinental and shorter-haul flying.

Which Economy seats have the most legroom on the Alaska 737 MAX 8?

The exit rows carry the most legroom in Economy and are the practical pick for taller passengers. Alaska also designates extra-legroom rows within the cabin, which the seat map marks. The rest of Economy is standard three-three narrow-body seating.

Are there any Economy seats to avoid on the Alaska 737 MAX 8?

The last few rows sit nearest the rear galley, which means more crew activity and noise during service. The front rows of Economy are the fastest off the aircraft. Otherwise the cabin is consistent — the main variable is whether you land an extra-legroom or exit row.
