Gol Linhas Aereas Boeing 737-800 (Domestic, 186 seats)
186 seats: 30 good, 12 mixed, 9 to avoid
Best seats
- Rows 2–5, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (GOL+ Comfort): gOL+ Comfort seat near the front: more legroom and recline, GOL says, and quick off the aircraft.
- Row 17, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy): gOL+ Comfort seat behind the gap GOL draws over the wing: extra legroom, and likely an exit row, so you must be willing and able to help in an emergency and bags go overhead.
Seats to avoid
- Row 10, seat A (Economy): window seat without a window, GOL says: a wall panel where the view should be.
- Row 11, seats A and F (Economy): window seat without a window, GOL says: a wall panel where the view should be.
- Row 33, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy): last row: it doesn't recline, GOL marks, and it backs onto the rear lavatories, with queues and noise beside you.
