Avoid 12A, 12B, 12E, 12F (Seat may not fully recline — exit row behind requires clear path); 28A, 28B, 28C, 28D, 28E, 28F (Near lavatory (behind) — some queuing traffic and noise); 29A, 29B, 29C, 29D, 29E, 29F, 30A, 30B, 30C, 30D, 30E, 30F (Immediately adjacent to lavatory (behind) — expect noise, odors, and queuing traffic)
The WestJet Boeing 737 MAX 8 carries 174 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 1C, 2A, 2F, 3A, 3F, 4A. Another 24 seats are rated best or good. Look for 18 extra-legroom seats for the most room.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 12A, 12B, 12E, 12F, 28A, 28B. Another 16 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 WestJet's narrowbody premium product: a two-by-two recliner with more width and pitch than economy, priority boarding and an upgraded service. It is not a lie-flat business seat; for that WestJet points you to its 787-9 on long-haul routes.
The cabin is quieter and the bins are larger, which helps on a full flight. Seat dimensions are much the same as the refitted 737-800s, so the version of the layout you draw matters more than the aircraft generation.
Exit rows for legroom, forward rows for a quick exit, and a window or aisle over a middle every time. The rearmost rows are beside the galley and lavatories and disembark last, so they are the ones to skip when the map gives you a choice.
