The Korean Air Boeing 737 MAX 8 carries 158 passengers across Business + Economy. Power and Wi-Fi are available on this aircraft. 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 28C, 36A, 36B, 36C, 36D, 36E. Another 20 seats are rated best or good. Look for exit row 36 for extra legroom. The map marks 12 seats with extra legroom.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 32A, 35A, 35B, 35E, 35F, 50A. 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.
Business class on this aircraft is a two-two recliner setup — think comfortable seats with direct aisle access for everyone rather than a flat-bed product. It's designed for shorter regional sectors rather than overnight flying, and the small cabin size gives it a more exclusive feel.
The MAX generation features the LEAP-1B engine, which is quieter and more fuel-efficient than the CFM56 on earlier 737s. The cabin itself is broadly similar, though the redesigned overhead bins on the MAX offer slightly more storage volume.
Exit rows are the primary legroom option in Economy, offering meaningfully more stretch space than standard rows. If exit rows are unavailable, bulkhead seats — typically at the front of Economy behind Business — provide more floor space even if the seat itself is the same.
