The Shanghai Airlines Boeing 737-800 carries 162 passengers across Business + Economy. Power is 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.
No seats are individually rated best on this configuration yet. The front rows of each cabin usually give a small legroom edge and clear quickest on arrival.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 38A, 38B, 38K, 38L, 39A, 39B. 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.
This fit allocates three rows to business rather than the usual two, giving Shanghai Airlines more premium capacity on routes that sell it. The cabin remains two-by-two recliners; there is simply more of it.
Middling by the airline's own standards: more generous than its densest -800s, less than its roomiest. It is a comfortable regional recliner in every version; the difference is how far away the seat in front of you sits.
The exit rows over the wing for legroom and the forward rows for a quick exit, as on the airline's other -800s. With a longer front cabin, economy starts further back, so the walk from the rear rows is a touch longer than the type suggests.
The seat map for your booking will show a three-row business cabin rather than two. Shanghai Airlines rotates four different 737-800 fits, so the map, not the aircraft type, is the thing to check.
