No window at seat 16A — Boeing routes the air-conditioning riser ducts up the left sidewall from the belly A/C packs to the ceiling distribution ducts, forward of the wing. The duct behind the sidewall panel displaces one left-side cabin window. Per Alaska fleet engineering this is standard on all 737 aircraft.

How this map was built

American's standardized single 737-800 configuration. TOTAL 172 seats and the 303-aircraft fleet count (138 owned / 165 leased) are published in American Airlines Group's FY2025 SEC Form 10-K mainline fleet table (as of 2025-12-31). The per-cabin split 16 First / 24 Main Cabin Extra / 132 Main Cabin = 172 is from Wikipedia's American Airlines fleet table (neutral); it reconciles with the SEC 172 total. All 737-800s were standardized to this 172-seat 'Project Oasis' interior, so no second distinct 737-800 config is evidenced in primary/neutral sources (the assignment hint's 30 MCE / 126 Main Cabin split could not be corroborated — the citable Wikipedia split is 24 / 132). Main Cabin Extra is American's extra-legroom economy PRODUCT, not a physically contiguous cabin: it is a couple of forward Main Cabin rows plus the overwing exit rows, sold at a fee — so per the house style (AUTHORING §6) it is modeled as a ZONE inside the single Main Cabin, with the MCE seats carrying seatType aa-mce (canonicalTier extra_legroom_economy). The ROW GRID IS DERIVED, not a placard scan: aa.com hard-403s bots and competitor seat-map sites are prohibited. Derivation (following standard 737-800 geometry, matching the same-airframe United/Delta exemplars): First 2-2 (columns A/C/D/F) rows 1-4 = 16; a forward galley/lavatory class divider occupies unnumbered rows 5-6; Main Cabin 3-3 rows 7-32 = 156, with the MCE zone at forward rows 7-8 (12) plus the two overwing exit rows 20-21 (12) = 24, and standard Main Cabin filling rows 9-19 (66) and 22-32 (66) = 132. The wing is modeled spanning rows 15-22; the forward exit row (20) is modeled non-reclining and the aft exit row (21) with full recline; row 19 (immediately ahead of the forward exit) is modeled with limited recline; row 32 is the last row backing onto the aft galley/lavatories. Actual row numbers, MCE row placement, exit-row placement, over-wing range and rear-monument positions may differ from the physical aircraft. American does not publish 737-800 pitch/width in any citable source (aa.com is bot-blocked), so all pitch/width values are flagged approximate/unsourced.
