Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8 (160 seats)
160 seats: 8 good, 10 mixed, 13 to avoid
Best seats
- Row 3, seat A (Cloud Nine): cloud Nine window seat in the middle of the small cabin, away from the galleys.
- Row 11, seat A (Economy): first Economy row, behind a wall, so nobody reclines into you.
- Row 17, seat A (Economy): exit row beside the overwing exits, drawn with extra space in front.
- Row 17, seats B, C, J and K (Economy): exit row with extra legroom
Seats to avoid
- Row 4, seat L (Cloud Nine): next to a galley, with light and noise during service
- Row 16, seats A, B, C, J and K (Economy): in front of the overwing exit row, so recline is likely limited
- Row 16, seat L (Economy): in front of the exit row, so recline is likely limited.
- Row 34, seats A and L (Economy): last row, against the rear toilets.
