The Lion Air Boeing 737-800 carries 189 passengers across Economy only. 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 1C, 2D, 2F, 17C, 17D, 18A. Another 12 seats are rated best or good. Look for 18 extra-legroom seats for the most room.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 2A, 2B, 2C, 12A, 12F, 16A. Another 21 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
The two rows at the very front and the overwing exit band. The front rows stow everything overhead for take-off and keep trays in the armrests; the trailing exit row is the cleanest space on board.
Two spots around the wing: a pair with no pane at all and a seat one row ahead where the window sits noticeably off the seat line. Booking a precise seat number is the only defence the layout offers.
It is a shade narrower than the rest of the cabin as the fuselage pulls in, with the lavatories alongside and the longest wait off the aircraft. A seat a few rows forward wins on every count.
No, the 737-800 is all economy. Travellers wanting a wider seat on these routes are really shopping for Batik Air, the group's full-service arm, which flies the same airframe with a recliner cabin at the front.
