Best seats FAQ

What is this Norwegian best seats page for?

This page collects the editorial best seats shortlists for Norwegian. One card covers each of the 3 illustrative cabins we publish for this airline. Open a card for a ranked opinion of seats on that drawing. The ranking is a planning aid. It is not a seat Norwegian is holding for you. If you want the cabin sketch before the ranking, start from the Norwegian airline page. Then confirm the aircraft and the live map with Norwegian before you pay for a row.

Are these Norwegian shortlists official recommendations?

No. Every shortlist on this page is an editorial opinion from Pick Your Row. These are not official Norwegian seat recommendations, and Pick Your Row is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Norwegian. If the airline map and a shortlist disagree, trust Norwegian. The methodology page separates opinion scores from facts a carrier publishes.

How many Norwegian shortlists are on this page?

This page shows 3 illustrative configs for Norwegian: Boeing 737-800, Boeing 737 MAX 8, and Airbus A320neo. Open a card and choose Best seats to read that ranked shortlist. One example is the Norwegian Boeing 737-800 best seats page. The same card also links to the seat map.

How do the scores on these Norwegian shortlists work?

Scores are editorial opinions on a 1 to 10 scale. They start near the middle, then move with a simple heuristic on our schematic. Exit rows and bulkheads usually gain points for space. Window and aisle seats gain a small preference over middle seats. Seats next to a lavatory or a galley lose points for traffic and noise, and many rear rows lose a little as well. On the Boeing 737-800 shortlist, the editorial ranking starts with 16A, 16F, 17A. The full rules are in the methodology. A plain language walkthrough is in How Pick Your Row scores work.

Can the real Norwegian cabin differ from these shortlists?

Yes. Each shortlist follows one typical drawing, not every aircraft Norwegian flies. The economy block pattern behind every shortlist here is blocks of 3 and 3. Drawn seat counts on these configs run about 186 to 189 seats. Another registration can move galleys, lavatories, exit rows, or the number of rows. Confirm the aircraft on your ticket, and the live seat map, with Norwegian before you pay.

How do I open the seat map from a Norwegian shortlist card?

Each card on this page has a Best seats link and a Seat map link for the same config. Best seats opens the ranked shortlist. Seat map opens the cabin sketch so you can see where those seats sit. For Boeing 737-800, open the Norwegian Boeing 737-800 best seats page, then the Norwegian Boeing 737-800 seat map. Use the shortlist for the opinion and the seat map for the layout. Book only after Norwegian confirms the row.
