Copa Airlines Boeing 737-800 (737-800A, 156 seats)
156 seats: 24 good, 16 mixed, 12 to avoid
Best seats
- Rows 6–8, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy Extra): economy Extra: more legroom and more recline than the Main Cabin, near the front for a quick exit.
- Row 18, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Main Cabin): second over-wing exit row: extra legroom and normal recline (likely). You must be willing and able to help in an emergency.
Seats to avoid
- Row 11, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Main Cabin): row in front of the over-wing exits: recline is likely limited, and it gets none of the exit row's legroom.
- Row 33, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Main Cabin): last row, against the restrooms and galley Copa draws at the tail: queues and noise, and recline is likely limited.
El Al Israel Airlines Boeing 737-800 (737-800, Sun d'Or all-Economy, 189 seats)
189 seats: 9 good, 9 mixed, 12 to avoid

Seats to avoid
- Row 34, seats A, B, C, H, J and K (Economy Class): marked limited recline on El Al's map, in the row just ahead of an exit row.
- Row 61, seats A, B, C, H, J and K (Economy Class): last seat in its block, with lavatories drawn right behind it: expect queues for the lavatory.
