The Shanghai Airlines Boeing 737-800 carries 170 passengers across Business + Economy. Power is available on this aircraft. 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 6C, 7A, 7L, 31A, 31B, 31C. Another 8 seats are rated best or good. Look for 6 extra-legroom seats for the most room.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 37A, 38A, 38L, 40A, 40B, 40K. Another 19 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
The seat is similar, the space is not. This fit gives the front cabin noticeably less stretch than the airline's roomiest -800, so if the front cabin is the reason you are booking, the layout your flight uses is worth checking first.
The bulkhead row for the marked legroom, or the exit rows over the wing, keeping clear of the recline-restricted seats directly ahead of them. Otherwise forward, for a calmer cabin and a quicker exit.
Two, forward of the wing, where the fuselage carries no pane. If you are booking a window for the view rather than the wall to lean on, the map flags the exact positions.
