Alaska Airlines Boeing 737-700 (124 seats)
124 seats: 28 good, 12 mixed, 12 to avoid
Best seats
- Rows 2–3, seats A and F (First Class): first Class window seat away from the front galley and lavatory.
- Rows 2–3, seats C and D (First Class): first Class aisle seat: wider recliner, easy to get up without climbing past anyone.
- Row 6, seats A and F (Premium Class): premium Class bulkhead window, the first row behind First Class: 4 inches more legroom than Main Cabin and early off the plane, though bags go overhead for takeoff and landing.
- Row 6, seats C and D (Premium Class): premium Class bulkhead aisle seat right behind First Class, with Premium Class legroom and nobody reclining into you.
Seats to avoid
- Row 15, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Main Cabin): row in front of the overwing exits: recline is likely limited (Alaska's drawing doesn't say), and it has no exit-row legroom of its own.
- Row 28, seats A, B and C (Main Cabin): last row on this side, against the lavatories Alaska draws behind it: recline is likely limited and the lavatory queue forms by your seat.
- Row 28, seats D, E and F (Main Cabin): last row of the aircraft, against the rear lavatories: recline is likely limited and the lavatory queue forms by your seat.
