The Smartwings Boeing 737 MAX 8 carries 176 passengers across Economy only. 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 17C, 17D, 18A, 18B, 18C, 18D. Another 6 seats are rated best or good. Look for 12 extra-legroom seats for the most room.
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.
No. The front rows are a blocked-middle extra-legroom section within the single economy cabin, not a separate class. You get more space and an empty middle seat, but the same economy service as the rest of the aircraft.
It carries more seats in the same fuselage, so the standard rows sit at a shorter pitch than on the roomier standard MAX 8 fit. That makes the front extra-legroom rows and the exit rows more valuable here than on the less dense version.
The blocked-middle rows at the front and the exit rows over the wing carry the most space. On a denser cabin like this one they are the seats worth paying a little extra for, especially on a longer four-hour sun sector.
Forward of the wing, ahead of the engines, is the calmest part of the cabin. Combine that with the front extra-legroom rows and you get the quietest and roomiest seats on this high-density layout in one place.
