Avoid 48A, 48L (No window at this seat position — wall only); 50A, 50B, 50K, 50L (Seat may not fully recline — exit row behind requires clear path); 66A, 66B, 66C, 66J, 66K, 66L (Near lavatory (behind) — some queuing traffic and noise); 67A, 67B, 67C, 67J, 67K, 67L, 68A, 68B, 68C, 68J, 68K, 68L (Immediately adjacent to lavatory (behind) — expect noise, odors, and queuing traffic)
The XiamenAir 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 11C, 12A, 12L, 51A, 51B, 51C. Another 16 seats are rated best or good. Look for 14 extra-legroom seats for the most room.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 48A, 48L, 50A, 50B, 50K, 50L. Another 18 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
The seat is the same two-by-two recliner idea, but this cabin gives it the most generous spacing of the airline's narrowbodies, and the MAX airframe is quieter besides. For a domestic trunk sector it is the pick of the single-aisle front cabins.
Three marked spots: the bulkhead row behind business and two rows in the exit area mid-cabin. Seats directly ahead of the exits give up recline, so aim for the marked rows rather than their neighbours.
Yes. This two-class fit is the standard one; a single-class sibling carries more seats and no business cabin. The seat map for your flight is the quickest way to tell them apart.
The last rows, which back onto the rear galley and lavatories and leave the aircraft last. A window seat forward of the wing missing its pane and one with a misaligned window are both flagged on the map.
