Avoid 14A, 14B, 14E, 14F (Seat may not fully recline — exit row behind requires clear path); 31A, 31B, 31C, 31D, 31E, 31F (Near lavatory (behind) — some queuing traffic and noise); 32A, 32B, 32C, 32D, 32E, 32F, 33A, 33B, 33C, 33D, 33E, 33F (Immediately adjacent to lavatory (behind) — expect noise, odors, and queuing traffic)
The Neos Boeing 737 MAX 8 carries 186 passengers across Economy only. 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 1C, 1D, 1E, 1F, 15C, 15D. 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 14A, 14B, 14E, 14F, 31A, 31B. Another 16 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
Both run a single all-economy 3-3 cabin, but the MAX 8 is the newer aircraft with a quieter, more modern interior. The seat-choice logic is the same: chase the exit rows and forward seats and keep clear of the rear service area.
No. It is a single economy cabin configured for leisure capacity. Legroom and cabin position are the levers you have, not a step up to a premium cabin.
The overwing exit rows and the first few economy rows offer the most legroom on the MAX 8. The exit-row seat itself may have limited recline, so weigh that against the extra space.
A window seat forward of the wing keeps you away from the busiest galley traffic, and a mid-cabin row balances a quick exit against distance from the rear. The back rows near the aft lavatories see the most late-flight movement.
