Avoid 11A and 11F (no window at this seat position), 14A, 14B, 14E and 14F (seat may not fully recline), row 30 (near lavatory) and row 31 and row 32 (immediately adjacent to lavatory).
The KLM Royal Dutch Airlines Boeing 737-800 carries 186 passengers across Business + Economy. 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 15A, 15B, 15C, 15D, 15E, 15F. Another 6 seats are rated best or good. Look for exit rows 15 and 16 for extra legroom. The map marks 12 seats with extra legroom.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 11A, 11F, 14A, 14B, 14E, 14F. Another 18 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
KLM's narrowbody Business class uses the standard 737 seat with the middle position left unoccupied. You get more personal space, priority boarding, a proper meal service, and KLM's typically attentive crew — though it's not a fully flat or suite product.
Exit rows offer the best legroom, though recline is limited. Rows in the first section of Economy — directly behind Business — deplane faster and sit away from the rear galley. The rows immediately before the rear galley are consistently among the noisiest and busiest in Economy.
The over-wing rows are structurally the calmest part of the aircraft in turbulence. They're also roughly equidistant from both sets of lavatories, which makes them a decent neutral choice if neither the front nor the exit rows are available.
