Singapore Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8 seat map

Singapore Airlines' current Boeing 737-8 fleet page lists 154 seats and links a single official map; SIA's 2021 product release says all of its 737-8 aircraft will have 10 Business / 144 Economy. The current configuration therefore also covers former SilkAir MAX 8 airframes: SIA's 2019 upgrade announcement said existing aircraft would be retrofitted with the staggered lie-flat product and future deliveries fitted before entry into service. No active legacy MAX configuration is evidenced. Business is the exact published 10-seat Thompson Vantage grid: paired rows 11 and 14 contain 11A/11C/11H/11K and 14A/14C/14H/14K, while standalone 12B and 12J each have two side consoles (4 + 2 + 4 = 10). The no_direct_aisle_access flags on A/K in the paired rows are a structural inference from the published single-aisle 2-2 geometry; the C/H seats are the map's aisle-side members. The schema requires layout to sum to the six declared possible columns, so layout is encoded as 3-3 with geometryHint staggered; every Business row is partial_row and these notes preserve SIA's published 2-2, 1-1, 2-2 arrangement. Economy is 24 full 3-3 rows numbered 41-64 (24 x 6 = 144). Rows 41-45 are Forward Zone; row 49's six seats are Extra Legroom, so SeatLink's computed summary is 10J/6N/138Y while SIA's marketing count remains 10J/144Y. SIA cautions that Extra Legroom availability may vary by flight. The official map marks 44A, 45A and 45K windowless and rows 47-48 non-reclining; those facts are encoded exactly. Other window positions remain unknown because the plan is not to scale; windowGridType 737-max8 is bound for the structural classifier. The assignment's 12J/150Y = 162 recliner configuration is the former Boeing 737-800NG layout, not a currently flying 737-8 layout. SIA's 15 May 2026 FY2025/26 results list 21 operating 737-8s at 31 March 2026, omit the 737-800NG from the operating fleet, and explicitly refer to retirement of the 737-800NG fleet; no 162-seat or NG instance is generated. Ratings follow the house rubric: Forward Zone position alone remains standard, solo Vantage and Extra Legroom seats are good for concrete space/privacy advantages, and published no-window/no-recline or direct monument/aisle-access drawbacks are be_aware.
