Southwest Airlines' B737-700 is configured with 143 economy class seats featuring the airline's classic "Evolve" interior. The seats offer some recline and have an average pitch of 31" (79cm) and width of 17.1" (43cm). These B737-700 aircraft have WiFi and offer entertainment via streaming to your personal device. However, they have no power outlets for charging. Southwest Airlines does not offer advanced seat reservations so in order to get a specific seat, a high boarding priority would be required. The seats in the last row are best avoided as these are narrower, have restricted recline and limited overhead storage. They are also more busy due to the proximity of the galley and lavatory. The first row has similar issues but does fully recline and has more knee space. Oddly, row one has no tray table at all, so no surface to put your drinks or personal entertainment device on. Seat 8F is missing a window. Tall passengers might want to try and grab seat 12A that offers by far the most leg space. Talking about space, it is worth noting that Southwest Airlines allows customers of size to purchase additional seats when necessary. Upon request, the additionally purchased seat can be refunded after the flight even if the flight was sold out.
