How this map was built

This is the ORIGINAL 178-seat 737-9 MAX layout (16 First / 24 Premium / 138 Main) that Alaska is converting away from: the 2025-26 refresh grows Premium Class from 24 to 30 seats and shrinks Main Cabin to 132, keeping the 178 total and 16 First (successor config 16F/30W/132Y). 178 total, 16 First (rows 1-4), Premium rows 6-9, Main to row 34 and exit rows 16-17 are confirmed by the alaskaair.com 737-9 MAX aircraft page; the 24-seat pre-expansion Premium figure and the 80-airframe count are from the Alaska newsroom expansion post (“737-9 MAX: increasing from 24 to 30 seats”). ROW GRID IS DERIVED from published cabin counts + layouts (First 2-2 on columns A/C/D/F; Premium & Main 3-3 on A-F), not from a published row-by-row map: First = rows 1-4 (16); no row 5 (forward galley/class divider); Premium = rows 6-9 (24); Main = rows 10-34 (138), with the last six rows (29-34) modeled as a 2-2 rear taper (outboard A/F seats absent as the fuselage narrows toward the tail cone) so the aft-most row is 34 per Alaska’s aircraft page while the total stays 138. Overwing exit rows placed at 16-17 per alaskaair.com. Actual aft-most row number and any numbering gaps may differ from this derivation. WINDOW GRID: no variant-exact 737 MAX 9 grid exists in data/window-grids/, so aircraft.windowGridType is intentionally omitted (the 737-900ER and MAX 8 grids are NOT bound) and no structural window-blank (AC-riser) seats were applied — every window seat carries windowAlignment "unknown". Main Cabin pitch (31-32 in) and recline (3 in), and First/Premium seat widths, are marked unsourced: no Alaska page cited here carries those exact figures. SOURCE INCONSISTENCY: Alaska’s own 737-9 MAX page labels the rows 6-9 Premium block ‘42 Premium Class seats’ — impossible for four 6-abreast rows (24 seats); we model the newsroom-sourced pre-expansion split of 16 First / 24 Premium / 138 Main = 178. fleetCount (80) is the total 737 MAX 9 airframes; airframes already refreshed to 16/30/132 mid-conversion are not in this specific sub-config.

What changed

  1. Jul 14, 2026Initial creation of the pre-2025/26-retrofit 178-seat 737-9 MAX config (16F/24W/138Y) from Alaska primary sources + Wikipedia fleet counts. Row grid derived from published cabin counts and layouts; modeled on the golden as-739-178 (737-900ER shares the same fuselage length and 178-seat layout). No 737 MAX 9 window grid exists, so windowGridType is omitted and no structural window blanks were applied (all window seats windowAlignment "unknown").
