The XiamenAir Boeing 737 MAX 8 carries 184 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 41A, 41B, 41C, 41J, 41K, 41L. Another 8 seats are rated best or good. Look for 14 extra-legroom seats for the most room.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 50A, 51A, 51L, 53A, 53B, 53K. 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.
No. This is the single-class fit, all economy, all three-by-three. The airline's other MAX 8 layout carries a small business cabin at the front, so check the map for your flight if that matters.
The marked legroom rows at the bulkhead and around the exits, then anything forward. The MAX is the quietest narrowbody XiamenAir flies, and the effect is strongest ahead of the engines.
The final rows: lavatories alongside, galley behind, a narrower last-row seat and the longest wait to deplane. Ahead of the exits, the recline-restricted seats are worth skipping too; the map marks them.
