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.

How this map was built

CURRENT CONFIG: the 20 July 2026 fleet list records eleven 737 MAX 8 aircraft, all in service and all Y189. IN-SERVICE TIMING: Thai VietJet's first Boeing aircraft arrived in November 2025 and was initially deployed domestically; the airline launched its first international 737-8 service on 29 January 2026, so service entry predates the assignment's tentative February date. PUBLISHED MAP: complete 3-3 rows 1-12 and 14-32 plus final-row seats 33A/B/C total 189; row 13 is omitted. Published location products are SkyBoss rows 1-3, Premium rows 4-5, Front rows 6-14 (displayed rows 6-12 and 14), Hot exit rows 15-16, and Normal rows 17-33. These are location/fare products within one Economy cabin; only rows 15-16 resolve to the extra-legroom canonical tier. No seat hardware or dimensions are published. The config code is transparent capacity notation, not a claimed airline-internal code. A variant-exact 737 MAX 8 engineering grid is bound; window seats begin unknown unless the repository classifier can establish a structural fact.
