Avoid 12A, 12F (No window at this seat position — wall only); 15A, 15B, 15E, 15F (Seat may not fully recline — exit row behind requires clear path); 24F (Reduced window views — 1 plugged window nearby); 32A, 32B, 32C, 32D, 32E, 32F (Near lavatory (behind) — some queuing traffic and noise); 33A, 33B, 33C, 33D, 33E, 33F, 34A, 34B, 34C, 34D, 34E, 34F (Immediately adjacent to lavatory (behind) — expect noise, odors, and queuing traffic)
The SunExpress Boeing 737 MAX 8 carries 189 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 1A, 1B, 1C, 2D, 2E, 2F. Another 12 seats are rated best or good. Look for 18 extra-legroom seats for the most room.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 12A, 12F, 15A, 15B, 15E, 15F. 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 MAX 8 runs quieter and burns less fuel, but the cabin is the same single-class 3-3 economy, so seat comfort is decided by pitch and position rather than the airframe. A window near the front on the MAX 8 feels much like one on the 737-800. The airframe upgrade is real but subtle from a seat.
The exit rows and the paid front rows offer the most legroom on this aircraft. On a sun route of more than two hours they are the seats that make the difference, especially for taller passengers. Everywhere else is standard short-haul economy pitch.
Families travelling with a lap infant usually do best in the bulkhead rows, which give a little more room in front and no seatback to knee. Booking a window and aisle in the same triple keeps a small group together, and the middle between them is easy to fill or trade.
The back rows sit closest to the galley and lavatories and see the most cabin traffic through the flight. They board last and leave last too, so if a quick exit or a quiet leg matters, choose a row forward of the wing instead.
