How this map was built

2026-09-30 audit: exact seat letters, row numbering gaps and Premium Class assignments transcribed from the current official colored diagram. Premium Class includes the green exit-row seats. Previous derived window alignment, seat ratings, recline restrictions and monument positions were not carried onto the corrected grid without per-seat evidence. Dimensions retained only with existing uncertainty labels. Historical product variants remain separate. AS/737-8-max.html|AS/737-8-max.map.png Page table and alt text disagree with total161 and diagram; 16F+36N+109Y reconciles all enumerated seats. No operational date or retrofit lineage inferred. Source describes four overwing exits in two pairs despite exit-row seating labels16/17/18. Furniture models two pairs at16/17; row18 is within the second exit area, not an invented third door pair.

What changed

  1. Sep 30, 2026Reconcile staggered16/17/18 exit-seat labels to published two overwing door pairs; no extra third pair.
  2. Sep 30, 2026Remove inherited seat hardware/power/product claims not established by retained configuration-specific sources.
  3. Sep 30, 2026Source cabin armrest widths from current official table; retain published min/max ranges and omit unavailable suite width.
  4. Sep 30, 2026Reconcile cabin totals with official group fleet inventory; separate in-service maps from future announcements.
  5. Sep 30, 2026Add currently operated MAX 8 from official 161-seat diagram, with source conflicts documented.
