Southwest Airlines' B737-800s are configured with 175 economy class seats featuring the airline's newer "Heart" interior. The seats offer some recline and have a generous average pitch of 32" (81cm) and width of 17.8" (45cm). These B737-800 aircraft have WiFi and offer entertainment via streaming to your personal device. However, they have no power outlets for charging. 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. Seats 10A, 11A and 11F don't have a window which will be annoying to most passengers. Tall passengers might want to try and grab either seat 16A or 16F that offer by far the most leg space. Couples might want to go for row 15 for more privacy but those seats do not recline.
