No window at seat 11A — 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.

    flydubai's current fleet page lists 26 Boeing 737-800s, 68 Boeing 737 MAX 8s and three Boeing 737 MAX 9s, and says its MAX fleet has reclining or fully-flat Business seats while retrofitted 737-800s have the flagship lie-flat Business product.

    The live page was bot-protected, so the stored object is a decoded Wayback raw capture dated 2026-02-17. It proves current type-level fleet membership and cabin-product families, not the row-by-row LOPA or subfleet count by configuration.

    flydubai's 2025 results say three Next-Generation 737s were retired or returned during 2025, the retrofit programme was finalized, and 25 Boeing 737-800s were retrofitted; its fleet table still lists 26 737-800s, 68 MAX 8s and three MAX 9s.

    This fleet-level report proves that the 737-800 remains current and that the retrofit is complete, but does not publish a row-by-row map or configuration-level fleet counts.

    flydubai's retrofit announcement says most 737-800s would receive the flagship lie-flat Business product and Recaro Economy seats, some aircraft would remain all-Economy, and the pitch of the reclining Business seats on newer aircraft would increase from 45 to 53 inches.

    The announcement describes the fleet retrofit and products but does not publish complete row grids or configuration-level fleet counts.

    flydubai identifies rows 15 and 16 as extra-legroom rows, row 6 as the front extra-legroom row on two-class aircraft, row 15 as non-reclining, and row 14 as non-reclining; it markets front- and exit-row selection as paid options.

    The stored object is a decoded Wayback raw capture dated 2025-12-16. The page is fleet-wide rather than a variant-specific LOPA, so it supports only the named row attributes used here.

    flydubai's Business Class fact sheet publishes the Thompson Vantage alternating 2-2/1-1 geometry, 19.8-inch seated width, 21.3-inch bed width, 75-inch bed and 15.6-inch screen with AC and USB-A; the HAECO Eclipse 2-2 product has 21-inch width, a 15.6-inch screen and AC, USB-A and USB-C. It also specifies the Recaro CL3710 Economy seat's 3-3 layout, 29-30-inch pitch, 17-inch width, three-inch recline, 13.3-inch screen and USB-A.

    The fact sheet documents product geometry and dimensions, not aircraft-specific row positions. Its historical 45-inch Eclipse pitch is superseded here by flydubai's 2024 retrofit announcement of 53 inches on newer aircraft.

    The flydubai fleet table lists current cabin totals of 10 Business plus 156 Economy and 189 all-Economy for the 737-800, 10 Business plus 156 Economy and 12 Business plus 162 Economy for the MAX 8, and 16 Business plus 156 Economy for the MAX 9.

    The table's type-level in-service counts lag flydubai's newer official 2025 results, so they are not used. This source is used only to reconcile published configuration totals; row positions are derived and explicitly marked.

How this map was built

DERIVED LAYOUT: flydubai and the neutral fleet table publish cabin totals and product geometry, but no accessible aircraft-specific LOPA; every cabin and row is therefore marked derived and the grid is reconstructed from those counts. COUNT RECONCILIATION: 10 Business + 156 Economy = 166; flydubai's named extra-legroom rows 6, 15 and 16 comprise 18 seats and are represented canonically as N within the published Economy total. ROW RULES: the generic current seat-selection page explicitly supplies rows 6, 14, 15 and 16. Other row positions follow the smallest count-reconciling grid with Economy beginning at flydubai's published row 6; no unreported lavatory, galley, bassinet or last-row recline restrictions are asserted. BUSINESS GEOMETRY: Thompson Vantage alternates published 2-2 paired rows and 1-1 solo rows. The schema uses a six-position 3-3 logical column grid to encode that staggered pattern; every short Business row is marked partial_row and every per-seat Vantage assignment is marked seatTypeInferred. WINDOWS: 737-800 uses the repository's exact engineering grid; window alignments begin unknown pending the deterministic classifier. CURRENTNESS: flydubai's 2025 results confirm that the 737-800 remains in service and that its retrofit programme was completed. The older 12J/162Y 174-seat 737-800 is not emitted because the official retrofit evidence says the old Next-Generation cabin was converted away.
