The Malaysia Airlines Boeing 737-800 carries 174 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.

Seats rated avoid on this map are 10A, 10F, 12A, 12B, 12E, 12F. 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.
Both aircraft use a two-two Business layout with recliner seats. The MAX 8 benefits from a slightly newer cabin environment. The seat product and cabin structure are the same on both variants.
The extra-legroom rows and exit rows in the mid-cabin section offer the most floor space. The exit rows in particular give a clear stretch of room in front. The cabin map marks the specific positions.
The last few rows of Economy are directly in front of the rear galley and toilets, which means more foot traffic and noise. The mid-cabin rows are a better default choice.
