Avoid 12A, 12B, 12E, 12F (Seat may not fully recline — exit row behind requires clear path); 29A, 29B, 29C, 29D, 29E, 29F (Near lavatory (behind) — some queuing traffic and noise); 30A, 30B, 30C, 30D, 30E, 30F, 31A, 31B, 31C, 31D, 31E, 31F (Immediately adjacent to lavatory (behind) — expect noise, odors, and queuing traffic)
The WestJet Boeing 737 MAX 8 carries 180 passengers across Business + Economy. Power and Wi-Fi are 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, 29A, 29B. 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.
The Premium cabin is identical; the difference is behind it, where this 2025 fit carries a few more economy rows than the 2026 version WestJet is moving to. The published map for your flight shows which one your aircraft carries.
On sectors beyond three or four hours, the wider recliner and extra pitch earn the fare, and you are off the aircraft first. On a short hop, an exit-row seat in economy delivers most of the legroom benefit for far less.
The over-wing exit rows lead on legroom. After those, favour the forward third of the cabin for boarding and disembarking speed, and give the last rows a miss: they sit beside the galley and lavatories and leave the aircraft last.
