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.

All fourteen listed C8Y154 MAX 8s are Active in the current registry, confirming this post-return-to-service layout. No operator MAX-specific map was found; rows, the four-seat aft row, exits and monuments are derived from the exact count. The variant-exact 737-max8 engineering window grid is the only source used for structural window blanks.
