The Batik Air Boeing 737-800 carries 162 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 4C, 4D. Another 16 seats are rated best or good. The map marks 6 seats with extra legroom.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 11A, 11B, 11E, 11F, 12A, 12B. Another 16 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
The same idea in a Boeing shell: recliner pairs either side of the aisle across a few closely matched rows. Choose it the same way, first row for speed off the aircraft, last row for calm.
On an hour-long hop the case is thin; the seat earns its keep on two-to-three-hour sectors, where the width and the small cabin have time to matter. Judge the fare gap on the day rather than on principle.
At the bulkhead row directly behind business, which on this type suffers less from the divider than its Airbus equivalent. The exit rows carry fixed recline, and the published layout gives them no space bonus to offset it.
The last rows, which sit beside the rear galley and lavatories and leave the aircraft after everyone else, and the exit rows if recline matters to you. Neither is a disaster; both lose to an ordinary window seat in the front half.
For the gentler economy fit and the option of a real front cabin. The trade runs through the fare: Lion sells the same airframe with far more seats for less money, and which deal wins depends on how long you are on board.
