The Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-700 carries 137 passengers across Extra Legroom + Economy. Wi-Fi 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.
The seats rated best on this map are 1A, 1C, 14B, 14C, 14D, 14E. Another 47 seats are rated best or good. The map marks 42 seats with extra legroom.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 9B, 26B, 26C, 27A, 27B, 27C. Another 3 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
It is the smallest narrowbody in Southwest's fleet, which means fewer rows and a slightly more compact cabin. The three-three layout is the same as the larger variants. On shorter routes the reduced seat count can mean a quieter, less crowded experience.
Fleet transitions take time, and the -700 suits routes where its smaller capacity fits demand better than a larger aircraft. Southwest has been gradually retiring the type, so it is less common than it once was.
Select your seat at booking — Southwest now uses assigned seating. Popular window and aisle seats in Extra Legroom and forward Economy rows fill first, so choosing early gives the widest pick. Status holders and certain fare classes may have access to preferred seats.
