No window at seat 9A — 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

The current Malaysia Airlines 737-8 product page and the official entry-into-service release publish 12 Business and 162 Economy seats (174 total); the first commercial flight was scheduled for 20 November 2023, not 2024. The official map supplies rows 1-12 and 14-31 (row 13 is omitted), cabin boundaries, overwing exits, lavatories and the no-recline markings on rows 12, 14 and 31. Row 15 extra legroom is inferred from its published second-exit-row geometry and spacing; no pitch scalar is inferred. The current neutral fleet matrix lists 19 in-service aircraft. Ordinary window alignment remains unknown except for any high-confidence structural blank applied from the exact 737 MAX 8 engineering grid.
