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); 56A, 56B, 56C, 56J, 56K, 56L (Near lavatory (behind) — some queuing traffic and noise); 57A, 57B, 57C, 57J, 57K, 57L, 58A, 58B, 58C, 58J, 58K, 58L (Immediately adjacent to lavatory (behind) — expect noise, odors, and queuing traffic)
The China Eastern Airlines Boeing 737-800 carries 176 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 18 extra-legroom seats for the most room.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 37A, 38A, 38L, 40A, 40B, 40K. Another 19 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
Give the last rows ahead of the rear galley and lavatories a miss if you can, since they draw the most noise and queueing. In this denser layout the middles without a window or aisle are the least comfortable, especially with a full load.
It runs the higher-density layout, so Economy carries more rows and is packed a little tighter than the airline's lower-density 737-800. The Business cabin is unchanged. The published map confirms the exact fit, since China Eastern flies several 737-800 densities.
Most legroom sits in the over-wing exit rows, which the map flags. A window or aisle toward the front of Economy blends the quiet with a quick exit, away from the busier rear of the cabin.
