737-700 Seat Maps

  • I just booked my last AS flight of the year and noticed that seats 12 A and C no longer exist on the 73G seatmap. It looks a lot like the 737-500 layout on United. Then I noticed that the map shows two emergency exit rows (rows 12 and 13). Could this be one of the new 738's? It still says 737-700 at the bottom of the screen but the extra exit row seems to indicate this is something else.


  • The seat map reached from this site - http://www.alaskaair.com/www2/company/fleet/Fleet.asp (Click on 73G then click on Seat Map in the pop-up window) - shows 12BC and 12DE as the only Exit Row.

    The 738 has two seat maps - SM1 shows Rows 13 and 14 as the Exits and SM2 shows Rows 14 and 15.

    Interesting. The seat map in this link shows one set of little arrows at the exit row (row 12). The seat map for choosing seats during the purchase process shows 2 little sets of arrows (rows 12 and 13). I know there is only one exit - it must be that AS (or the FAA) considers both 12 and 13 exit rows on this aircraft, even though there is only one set of doors.

    IMHO, the addition of two seats into this area will likely ruin what was previously the best row on the aircraft by reducing pitch by a substantial amount. Combine that with the degredation of the pitch in row six and there really is no good place to sit in coach on these aircraft. I'm sure glad I got comped to 1P on UA. E+ is fantastic.


  • IIRC -

    Seat guru mentions that Alaska has been in the process of reconfiguring the main cabin seating on these aircraft.

    That would probably explain the differences your seeing.

    Junkie-

    Could be. UA, for example, considers the BCDE seats and the entire row behind it as Exit Rows on the 733, 735, and A319.

    Yes, AS is in the process of adding a partial row (4 seats) to each of its 73G's. Rows 12 and 13 both are considered "exit rows". However, the pitch is equal to any other row (at about 32"). The only good seats are the window seats in row 13, which don't have a seat in front of them. In addition, row 12 DOES NOT recline!
