The Smartwings Boeing 737 MAX 8 carries 189 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 17C, 17D, 18A, 18B, 18C, 18D. Another 4 seats are rated best or good. The map marks 12 seats with extra legroom.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 12A, 12F, 14A, 14B, 14E, 14F. Another 21 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
Yes, noticeably. The newer engines and airframe make the whole cabin calmer, and the forward rows in particular feel quieter than the same seats on the 737-800. If cabin noise bothers you, the MAX is the pick of the Boeing fleet.
The exit rows carry the most legroom. On a longer sun sector, where this aircraft tends to fly, they are worth the small fee for the extra stretch space over the standard three-by-three pitch.
The rear rows sit beside the aft lavatories and galley, so they take the most through-traffic. They fill last and are handy if you want quick access, but a mid-cabin seat is calmer if you would rather not be next to the queue.
