Gol Linhas Aereas Boeing 737 MAX 8 (International, 176 seats)
176 seats: 22 good, 10 mixed, 15 to avoid
Best seats
- Rows 2–5, seats A and F (Premium Economy): premium Economy with the middle seat beside you blocked, so you get the pair to yourself at the window.
- Rows 2–5, seats C and D (Premium Economy): premium Economy with the middle seat beside you blocked, so you get the pair to yourself on the aisle.
- 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 14, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy): doesn't recline (GOL says), likely because an exit row is behind.
- Row 33, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy): last row, backing onto the rear lavatories: recline is likely limited, and people queue beside you.
