The XiamenAir Boeing 737-800 carries 170 passengers across Business + Economy. 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 11C, 12A, 12L. Another 11 seats are rated best or good. Look for 6 extra-legroom seats for the most room.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 47A, 48A, 48L, 50A, 50B, 50K. 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.
A genuine small cabin rather than a blocked middle seat: wide two-by-two recliners across two rows, with a bulkhead in front. It is a regional product built for two- to four-hour sectors, and the cabin is small enough that the seats are effectively matched.
The bulkhead row behind business is the marked extra-legroom row, with trays in the armrest and a wall that sits closer than most bulkheads. The exit rows break up the cabin mid-ships; the seats directly ahead of them lose recline.
A couple, forward of the wing, where the fuselage carries no pane; the map flags the exact seats. A window seat booked for the view is worth double-checking here.
No, the airline also flies a single-class version with more seats and no business cabin. The two fits share a type but not a map, so confirm which one your flight uses before paying for a specific seat.
