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 V40 seat map (seatmap_en_v40_200924.png) and the configuration page: International V40, 144 seats = 12 Business (JAL SKYLUXE SEAT, rows 1-3, 2-2 columns A/C left and H/K right) + 132 Economy (3-3). Economy row numbering is sparse: rows 15-22 (forward, 8 rows) then rows 45-58 (aft, 14 rows) — 22 physical rows x 6 = 132; the number jumps 22->45 across the wing (JAL international numbering scheme; passenger boarding passes use these numbers). Exit rows 22 (front over-wing, non-reclining) and 45 (aft over-wing, extra legroom); no-window 18A (AC riser duct); rear twin wheelchair-accessible lavatories behind row 58. DERIVED: nothing structural beyond the sparse numbering, which is read directly from the map labels. UNSOURCED: seat pitch/width and recline are not published for this type (marked unsourced). NOTE: jal.co.jp lists "No movable armrests" at armrest pairs in rows 15, 22, 45, 57 and 58 (bulkhead/exit/rear rows) — a comfort detail with no SeatRecon flag, recorded here only. In-seat AC power is at every Business seat but only Economy rows 16-21 and 46-49; IFE is JAL MAGIC-IV.
