Ryanair's densest aircraft: an all-economy 3-3 single-class cabin, 197 slimline seats. The 737-8200 (Boeing 737 MAX 200) adds an EXTRA pair of mid-cabin emergency exit doors versus the standard MAX 8 - the structural change that certifies the higher passenger count. Modelled here as an exit_door furniture pair beside row 29 with an exit_row attribute; the precise row is INFERRED from the published door position (~82 ft 8 in / 25.2 m aft of the nose) and from traveller reports of extra legroom at rows 29A/29F, not from an official per-row Ryanair map. Seats are non-reclining slimline hardware fleet-wide (Safran/Zodiac Z110), so seatType recline is 'none' everywhere; no per-seat no_recline flag is repeated across 197 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. 33 rows x 3-3 = 198 positions; one seat is de-configured to reach the published 197 (placed at 33F here, marked inferred). Seat TIERS follow the Ryanair Help Centre 'Reserved Seating' article: Extra Legroom = rows 1, 16, 17 (~32-34 in pitch); 'Front' priority = rows 2-5; Standard = rows 6-33. 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.
