    Ryanair's corporate fleet page lists 411 aircraft under B737-Next Gen advertised at 189 seats, alongside 197-seat Gamechangers and Lauda A320s. This bucket does not independently identify a configuration-specific 737-800 count.

    Ryanair operates a simple all-Boeing 737 fleet; the 737-800 (737 Next Generation) is its long-standing main type in a single-class high-density layout.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryanair ↗
  • RyanairPRIMARY SOURCERetrieved Jul 14, 2026

    Reserved seating tiers: Extra Legroom rows 1, 16 and 17 (emergency-exit rows with occupancy requirements); 'Front' priority seats rows 2-5; standard seats elsewhere; any seat reservable for a fee or free random allocation at check-in.

    Ryanair Help Centre returns HTTP 403 to automated fetches, so no local snapshot could be archived. Tier row assignments are the same fleet-wide article used for the MAX 8-200 (see fr-7m82) and are corroborated by that exemplar.

How this map was built

Ryanair's official fleet page dated 2 September 2026 lists a group category of 411 B737-Next Gen aircraft advertised at 189 seats. This is a corporate category total, not an independently verified count of aircraft sharing this specific 737-800 configuration; the configuration-specific fleet count is therefore omitted. Seats are non-reclining slimline hardware fleet-wide, so seatType recline is 'none' everywhere; no per-seat no_recline flag is repeated across 189 seats. No seatback IFE, no Wi-Fi and no in-seat power on any Ryanair aircraft - modelled as ife.type 'none', wifi.available false, power.types []. Row/seat enumeration is a STRUCTURAL INFERENCE: Ryanair does not publish a citable per-seat map and competitor seat-map sites are barred as sources. The 737-800 has the standard TWO pairs of overwing emergency exits (no extra mid-cabin exit - that is unique to the denser MAX 8-200), placed at rows 16 and 17 here from the 737-800 door geometry (window grid data/window-grids/737-800.json: forward overwing exit ~658 in, aft overwing exit ~696 in from the nose). 189 = 31 full 3-3 rows (186) + a final 3-seat row (row 32). The last row is modelled as the left-hand triple only to reconcile the seat total. Rear galley and lavatory coordinates are separate derived markers aft of the row; they do not establish why the right-hand positions are absent. The three de-configured positions (32D/E/F) are inferred to reach the published total. Seat TIERS follow the Ryanair Help Centre 'Reserved Seating' article (the same fleet-wide article as the MAX 8-200): Extra Legroom = rows 1, 16, 17 (~32-34 in pitch, all emergency-exit rows with occupancy restrictions); 'Front' priority = rows 2-5 (standard hardware, sold for early boarding/disembarkation); Standard = rows 6-15 and 18-32. Any seat can also be reserved for a fee or left to free random allocation at check-in; paid_seat/preferred_zone flags are set only on the marketed premium tiers. Standard-row pitch: Ryanair markets ~30 in; independent measurements put the slimline pitch at ~28-28.5 in. Recorded as 28 in (min) / 30 in (max), approximate and unsourced pending an official figure. Structural window blank: the bound grid records an Alaska-specific 10A reference for an air-conditioning riser. For Ryanair this is only an unapplied medium-confidence candidate; the row binding is not established, and seat 10A remains windowAlignment unknown without a no-window flag. Audit 2026-09-30: Exact numbered seat presence and row labels; all retained count-derived rows; Variant-specific exit/product rows (generic 737 seating terms do not prove MAX8200 mapping); Pitch, width, hardware, recline, amenities and inferred furniture/ratings remain only as qualified baseline claims. No complete configuration verification claimed; baseline IDs and uncertain geometry retained.
