No window at seat 18A — 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

READ FROM the jal.co.jp published V32 seat map (seatmap_v32_en_200520.png) and the configuration page: Domestic V32, 165 seats = 20 Class J (rows 1-4, 2-3 layout, columns A/C on the left and H/J/K on the right — the B middle seat is removed) + 145 Economy (rows 15-39, 3-3). Exit rows 22 and 23 (both over-wing); non-reclining rows 21 and 22 (jal.co.jp); no-window 18A (AC riser duct). The first Economy row (15) sits behind the Class J divider with a forward closet occupying the middle-B position (five seats); the last row (39) has only two seats (39H, 39K) because the rear lavatory and exit take the A/B/C side — this reconciles to 145 Economy (5 + 23x6 + 2). DERIVED: the identity of the single seat removed at row 15 is read as the middle B from the low-resolution map (the two visible left-bank seats are labelled C and A); the exact row grid otherwise comes straight from the published map. UNSOURCED: seat pitch/width are not published for this type (marked unsourced). No in-seat power (jal.co.jp: "Power outlet: Not available"); Wi-Fi available; no seatback IFE.
