Avoid 35A (no usable window view), 38A, 38B, 38E and 38F (seat may not fully recline), 49A and 49F (no usable window), row 55 (near lavatory) and row 56 and row 57 (immediately adjacent to lavatory).
The Korean Air Boeing 737-900 carries 188 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 8A, 8E, 28C, 28D, 39A, 39B. Another 20 seats are rated best or good. Look for exit rows 39 and 40 for extra legroom. The map marks 18 seats with extra legroom.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 35A, 38A, 38B, 38E, 38F, 49A. 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.
More rows mean the rear of the cabin is genuinely further from the front exits, which amplifies both the deplaning delay and the proximity to rear lavatories. On a full flight, the difference between front-section and rear-section Economy is more pronounced on the -900 than on shorter 737 variants.
Exit rows offer a legroom uplift that most travellers notice immediately on a two-plus-hour sector. The trade-off — restricted recline — is manageable on daytime flights and more of a consideration on overnight hops.
Korean Air does not routinely block middle seats in Economy. On a full 737-900, every seat including the middle position is likely to be occupied, which makes the window and aisle seats proportionally more valuable when selecting.
