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

Qantas Boeing 737-800 second current configuration (labelled '737-8SA' on the seat map; 4 airframes VH-XZQ/R/S/T): 12 Business (2-2, rows 1-3) + 150 Economy (3-3, rows 5-12 and 14-30) = 162. PUBLISHED (qantas.com 737 fleet page): 'The second configuration has 12 Business seats and 150 Economy seats, with a total of 162 seats.' Business/Economy seat dimensions are the shared 737 figures (Business 2-2 up to 55.9 cm/22 in width, up to 99 cm/39 in pitch; Economy 3-3 76.2 cm/30 in pitch, up to 43.7 cm/17.2 in width, 12.7 cm/5 in recline). PUBLISHED (official Qantas 737-8SA seat map PDF, read seat-by-seat): Business columns A/C/D/F rows 1-3; Economy columns A-F rows 5-12 and 14-30 (row 4 and row 13 are numbering gaps, absent on the map); forward galley + forward baby-change lavatory (with crew seat) ahead of row 1; over-wing exit rows 14 and 15 (marked EXIT ROW SEATING, not available to customers with a disability); twin aft baby-change lavatories + crew seats + rear galley behind row 30; legend states 'BASSINETS NOT AVAILABLE', 'PANASONIC OVERHEAD VIDEO', and 'AC POWER and USB-A THROUGHOUT - BYO DEVICE'. The map colour-codes selection-fee zones: 'Forward (1) Front' (row 5), 'Forward Zone (1)' (rows 6-10), 'Forward Zone (2)' (rows 11-12), Exit rows (14-15) and 'Forward Zone (3)' (rows 16-17). DERIVED/INFERRED: the forward fee zones are the same physical 30-inch Economy seat, so only the bulkhead front row (5) and the exit rows (14-15) are rated 'good' for genuine extra legroom; the other forward zones are location-priced and rated 'standard'; row 12 (immediately ahead of the forward over-wing exit — row 13 being a numbering gap) is modelled with limited recline (be_aware); row 30 (last row) is modelled with limited recline backing onto the rear galley/lavatories; feeTier premium (exit) vs preferred (forward zones) is inferred from the zone hierarchy, not published prices; the over-wing span (rows 12-17) is read approximately from the wing graphic. This sub-fleet has no seat-back screens (Panasonic overhead video) and no Wi-Fi. Business recline value and food service are not published and are omitted. The primary 168-seat 737-800 configuration is modelled in qf-738-168. fleetCount 4 = airframes listed on this config's seat map (VH-XZQ, VH-XZR, VH-XZS, VH-XZT). WINDOW ALIGNMENT: windowGridType '737-800' is bound and scripts/window-alignment.js was run; the AC-riser windowless-window candidate (seat 9A) resolves only to MEDIUM confidence by geometric projection, so per AUTHORING §5 it is left windowAlignment 'unknown'; all other window seats are 'unknown'.
