No window at seat 10A — 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.

  • Shandong AirlinesPRIMARY SOURCERetrieved Jul 18, 2026

    Live Chinese aircraft-type page lists the Boeing 737-800 and B737-8 (7M8), and publishes 176 seats for the B737-8.

    Chinese page translated into English. It publishes no 737-800 seat count, no per-cabin split for either type, and no seat map; it also still displays a 737-700 card without asserting current fleet status.

    Complete three-page current Shandong 737-800 production list contains 117 active passenger aircraft, every one C8Y168, plus five active 737-800 freighters marked Cargo and excluded here.

    Direct HTTP retrieval returned 403, so the snapshot is a browser-rendered DOM text capture of all three pages. The C/Y code proves counts, not exact row numbering, monuments, dimensions, or window alignment.

    February 2026 German fleet table reports 117 passenger 737-800s and 13 737 MAX 8s, both at 176 seats with an 8 Business / 168 Economy-family split, and lists the 737-700 as former.

    German page translated into English. Its MAX Economy-family total does not distinguish Premium Economy; the more current live production list controls aircraft counts, while the Chinese fleet table and Air China tier notice control the MAX W/Y split.

    December 2025 Chinese fleet table publishes the 737 MAX 8 split as 8 Business / 18 Premium Economy / 150 Economy and records the final 737-700 retirement on 25 October 2025.

    Chinese page translated into English. Its 167-seat 737-800 row conflicts with the newer complete current production list and is treated as superseded; it is used only for the MAX cabin split and dated 737-700 retirement.

How this map was built

CURRENT CONFIG: the complete live production list shows 117 passenger 737-800s, all C8Y168; five Cargo rows are excluded. The February 2026 German fleet table independently publishes 176 seats as 8 Business / 168 Economy. The December 2025 Chinese 8/159=167 row is superseded by the newer complete current-tail evidence and is not generated. DERIVATION: Shandong publishes no seat map, so two 2-2 Business rows (8 seats) and twenty-eight 3-3 Economy rows (168 seats) are reconstructed as display rows 1-2 and 6-33. Those display numbers follow the recent same-market Shenzhen 737 convention; the cabin boundary, wing rows 10-20, over-wing exits at rows 14-15, and all monuments are structural estimates from the exact 737-800 engineering grid rather than Shandong-published positions. Exact row numbering may differ in service. The Business recliner category is a narrowbody-geometry inference. Window seats remain unknown and non-window positions no_window_seat; no pitch, width, numeric recline, hardware-model or amenity claim is made.
