Avoid 35A, 36A, 36L (No window at this seat position — wall only); 38A, 38B, 38K, 38L (Seat may not fully recline — exit row behind requires clear path); 53B, 53K (Near lavatory (behind) — some queuing traffic and noise); 54A, 54B, 54C, 54J, 54K, 54L, 55A, 55B, 55C, 55J, 55K, 55L (Immediately adjacent to lavatory (behind) — expect noise, odors, and queuing traffic)
The China Eastern Airlines Boeing 737-800 carries 158 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 39A, 39B, 39C, 39J, 39K, 39L. Another 20 seats are rated best or good. Look for exit rows 39, 40 and 6 extra-legroom seats for the most room.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 35A, 36A, 36L, 38A, 38B, 38K. 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.
It runs a lower-density layout, so Economy is a little roomier than the airline's packed 737-800s. The Business cabin and seat style match; the difference is how tightly Economy is arranged. The published map is the reliable read on the exact cabin on your flight.
The over-wing exit rows carry the most legroom, marked on the map. A forward window or aisle in Economy gives you both quiet and a fast exit, where the rear rows crowd the galley and lavatories.
On a short sector you get a two-by-two recliner with no middle and a meal served rather than sold. You sit in it, so the value is the width and the earlier board on the day, but on a longer domestic hop it can still earn its keep.
