Page is a JS-rendered SPA; alt-text extracted from the embedded Contentstack payload (see the .txt extract). The alt-text states '36 Premium Class seats in rows 6-10', which is internally impossible (rows 6-10 hold 5x6=30 at 3-3) and is reconciled to 30 via the diagram itself and the newsroom expansion post.

PRE-EXPANSION 159-seat 737-800 (12 First / 30 Premium Class / 117 Main Cabin). LAYOUT READ FROM THE PUBLISHED ALASKA SEAT-MAP DIAGRAM (resource.alaskaair.net, hosted on the alaskaair.com 737-800 page) plus its accessibility alt-text: First Class 2-2 rows 1-3 (columns A/C/D/F); Premium Class 3-3 rows 6-10 (30 seats, green in the diagram); Main Cabin 3-3 rows 11-12 and 15-32 (rows 13-14 are a numbering gap, absent on the diagram); overwing exit rows 16 and 17; rear taper — row 32 has only D/E/F because the A/B/C positions are taken by the aft lavatories (two on the right, one on the left per the alt-text), giving Main Cabin 147 (=30 Premium + 117 standard) and 159 total. SOURCE RECONCILIATION: the aircraft-page alt-text says '36 Premium Class seats in rows 6-10', which is internally impossible (5 rows x 6 = 30) and contradicts the newsroom's '30 Premium'; reconciled to 30 using the diagram and newsroom (layoutProvenance kept published_map because the seat grid itself is read from the diagram). DERIVED/UNSOURCED: exit-row recline behavior is not published per-seat — modeled from standard 737 dual-overwing-exit geometry (row 15 ahead of the exit = limited recline; rows 16-17 = extra-legroom exit rows) consistent with the sibling as-739-178; Main Cabin pitch (31-32 in) and recline (3 in), Premium/First width and recline are unsourced estimates (no Alaska page states them). fleetCount 59 = total 737-800 airframes (Wikipedia); the airframes still in this 12F sub-config mid-retrofit is not separately published. Seat 10A (a Premium window seat) has no window — AC riser-duct blank, written by scripts/window-alignment.js at high confidence from the variant-exact 737-800 grid. This config is being converted to the 16F/161-seat layout (as-738-161); conversions early 2025 to summer 2026.
What changed
- Jul 14, 2026Set windowAlignment "none" on 10A (AC air-conditioning riser-duct blank; no window at this left-side seat). Source: engineering (window grid 737-800, alaska-windowless-2019); confidence high.
