Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft seat map Southwest Airlines

Southwest Airlines' B737 MAX 8 feature Boeing's new Sky interior with larger overhead bins and a total of 175 economy class seats. The seats offer some recline and have a generous average pitch of 32" (81cm) and width of 17.8" (45cm). These B737-8 aircraft have WiFi and offer entertainment via streaming to your personal device. All newly delivered aircraft feature USB A & C charging ports and these will be retrofitted to all B737-8 in the fleet. 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. Beware of seats 10A, 11A and 11F as they are missing a window! 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.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 seats can be refunded after the flight if the flight was sold out.
