Aircraft type FAQ

What is this Boeing 737-800 page for?

This page groups the original Boeing 737-800 cabin schematics on Pick Your Row. You will find 16 illustrative configs across 16 airlines, each linked to a seat map. Use it when you know the aircraft type and want the airlines we have drawn for it. If you already know the carrier, start from the airlines directory. Maps here are illustrative planning sketches. Confirm the aircraft and the live seat map with your carrier before you pay for a row.

Do all Boeing 737-800 aircraft share one cabin layout?

No. A type name is the airframe, not one shared cabin. These 16 configs already disagree on economy layout. Economy sections on these cards use a single block of 1, or blocks of 3 and 3. Drawn seat counts run about 151 to 189 seats. Airlines with a schematic on this page: Aeromexico, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Copa Airlines, Garuda Indonesia, Japan Airlines, LOT Polish Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Norwegian, Qantas, Ryanair, Scandinavian Airlines (SAS), Southwest Airlines, Turkish Airlines, United Airlines, and WestJet. Another registration can still change the cabin again.

How do airline configs on this Boeing 737-800 differ?

Each row in the comparison table is one airline interior for the Boeing 737-800, not a universal cabin. Compare the carrier, the approximate seat count (about 151 to 189 seats), the cabin counts, and the economy pattern. Economy sections on these cards use a single block of 1, or blocks of 3 and 3. Do not mix a row number from one airline with the map of another. For a worked example, open the Aeromexico Boeing 737-800 seat map.

Are these official airline seat maps?

No. Every drawing on this page is an original illustrative schematic. Pick Your Row is not affiliated with the airlines listed here, and these are not their official seat maps. If a carrier diagram and a card disagree, trust the carrier. The methodology page explains how editorial scores differ from regulatory facts.

How should I pick a seat on a Boeing 737-800?

Match a row in the comparison table to your airline, then read that seat map before you pay for a row. Extra space often sits at an exit or a bulkhead, and the carrier sets the rules and the fee. A window or an aisle is a preference. Highlights on Pick Your Row are opinions for planning, not a seat the airline is holding for you. The best seats page on each row applies the same heuristic to that drawing. One example is the Aeromexico Boeing 737-800 best seats page. Scoring rules are in the methodology.

How do I confirm my flight is really a Boeing 737-800?

Your ticket or the airline app usually prints the aircraft type, and the assignment can still change before departure. Match that name to Boeing 737-800. Then open the airline seat map for your specific flight. Use the guide on how to verify your aircraft type. If the airline names a different aircraft, use that type instead of this page.
