Avoid 37A, 38A, 38L (No window at this seat position — wall only); 40A, 40B, 40K, 40L (Seat may not fully recline — exit row behind requires clear path); 55B, 55K (Near lavatory (behind) — some queuing traffic and noise); 56A, 56B, 56C, 56J, 56K, 56L, 57A, 57B, 57C, 57J, 57K, 57L (Immediately adjacent to lavatory (behind) — expect noise, odors, and queuing traffic)
The China Eastern Airlines Boeing 737-800 carries 170 passengers across Business + Economy. Power is available on this aircraft. 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 6C, 7A, 7L, 31A, 31B, 31C. Another 20 seats are rated best or good. Look for exit rows 41, 42 and 6 extra-legroom seats for the most room.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 37A, 38A, 38L, 40A, 40B, 40K. Another 15 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
The over-wing exit rows hold the most legroom, and the map shows the seats. Toward the front of Economy a window or aisle mixes quiet with an early exit, since the rear rows sit hard by the galley and lavatories.
Yes. China Eastern flies several 737-800 configurations that vary in Business size and Economy density, so the premium row count and how tightly Economy is packed can differ. The published map is the dependable guide to the exact cabin on your airframe.
It is a two-by-two recliner rather than a flat bed. Over Economy you gain the width, the empty middle and a lounge on the ground, though the seat is made for sitting a short sector. On the busier domestic routes the extra room is still a worthwhile step up.
