No window at seat 50A — 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

XiamenAir's official 737 MAX chart publishes the 184-seat all-Economy layout, 30-inch pitch, rows 41-71, and the four-seat partial over-wing row 55 (B/C/J/K). The current Chinese Wikipedia fleet table lists both Y184 and C8Y166 MAX 8s; this file is the map-backed Y184 variant. The issuer filing confirms parent-airline 737-8 operation and lists subsidiaries separately. windowGridType uses the exact shared 737-max8 engineering grid.
