What does a Southwest Airlines seating plan show?

You will find 4 illustrative configs, each linked to a seat map and a best seats page. Use it when you already know the carrier and want the aircraft we have drawn for it. If you know the type first, start from the aircraft index. Maps here are illustrative planning sketches. Confirm the aircraft and the live seat map with Southwest Airlines before you pay for a row.
Are these official Southwest Airlines seat maps?
No. Every drawing on this page is an original illustrative schematic. Pick Your Row is not affiliated with Southwest Airlines, and these are not the official Southwest Airlines seat maps.

How should I pick a seat on Southwest Airlines?
Match a card above to the aircraft on your ticket, then read that seat map before you pay for a row. Extra space often sits at an exit or a bulkhead, and Southwest Airlines 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. Browse every shortlist on the best seats page for Southwest Airlines. One worked example is the Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-700 best seats page. Scoring rules are in the methodology. The guide on how Pick Your Row scores work explains the heuristic.

These row numbers are illustrative and can differ by registration. Confirm them with Southwest Airlines before you pay for an exit seat. The methodology page explains how these sketches are drawn. Exit row tips cover who should skip an exit and why a marked row is not a promise. A sample sketch is the Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-700 seat map.
How do I confirm my flight's aircraft before relying on a map?
Your ticket or the Southwest Airlines app usually prints the aircraft type, and the assignment can still change before departure. Match that name to a card on this page, then open that seat map. Use the guide on how to verify your aircraft type. If Southwest Airlines names an aircraft that is not drawn here, use the live airline map instead of a nearby type.
