Avoid 38A, 38L, 41A (No window at this seat position — wall only); 40A, 40B, 40K, 40L (Seat may not fully recline — exit row behind requires clear path); 56A, 56B, 56C, 56J, 56K, 56L (Near lavatory (behind) — some queuing traffic and noise); 57A, 57B, 57C, 57J, 57K, 57L, 58A, 58B, 58C, 58J, 58K, 58L (Immediately adjacent to lavatory (behind) — expect noise, odors, and queuing traffic)
The Shanghai Airlines Boeing 737-800 carries 176 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 31A, 31B, 31C, 41B, 41C, 41J. Another 19 seats are rated best or good. Look for 18 extra-legroom seats for the most room.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 38A, 38L, 40A, 40B, 40K, 40L. 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 bulkhead row and two rows in the exit area, all marked on the map. One of those exit-row window positions has no window, which is worth knowing before you pay for the space and plan on the view too.
It is a genuine separate cabin, though with less stretch than the airline's roomiest -800. On a longer sector the width and the service still clear the bar; on a one-hour hop the marked economy rows do most of the same work for less.
The rear. The tail rows sit against the galley and lavatories, board and deplane last, and on the airline's fullest 737 fit the queue past them is longest. A few misaligned windows mid-cabin are flagged on the map as well.
