Update: Contra Brian Sumers tweet about 185 seats, United tells me that they will be sticking with 179 seats on the MAX 9, the same as the current 737-900 configuration. I’m not sure I’d agree with Brian that it doesn’t look horrible, since United coach today looks pretty bad in my opinion, at least without the extra legroom Economy Plus seats.

Since United today offers some rows in economy with 30 inch pitch and others with 31, this tells me they’re likely settling on a similar 30 inch standard as well. Uwim2oMojTĪdding six seats means adding one row of seating compared to the current configuration.

has set seating configuration for Boeing 737 Max 9. The unstoppable Brian Sumers has the seat map that United is planning for its Boeing 737-MAX 9 (a larger plane than the MAX 8). United has said they plan ‘densification’ (more seats in the same amount of room) as well. United’s densest Boeing 737-800s already have 166 seats, or one more row than American’s current configuration and one less row than American’s new plan. And I believe the legroom will shrink an inch in first class, too. They’re going to have smaller lavatories.

They squeeze in an extra 12 seats mainly by reducing the distance between coach seats down to 30 inches from 31 inches. (They’re also going to retrofit the existing 737s to have more seats, too.) They’re taking the same aircraft body of the Boeing 737-800 which currently has 160 seats and taking it to 172 seats.

This does not indicate any 739s with only eight seats in the forward cabin, only in 319s.America Airlines is going to offer the densest coach configuration that a major US legacy carrier has ever flown with their new Boeing 737 MAX. If they are O and D flights then I doubt the carrier will operate that many services in five months' time, but if they are flights that originated elsewhere and will continue on past IAH then that may be the carriers' planned timetable. I've not been on a UA 739 but that may be a glitch in the EF website.ĮF are also showing between five and seven flights a day between LAS and IAH for random dates in January. With that configuration Economy is rows 7 through 39, with 7ABC all showing as the washrooms rather than seats. In checking several dates all of the seats are shown as blocked. From my previous post ExpertFlyer showed 739s with five rows in the forward cabin (seating 2-2) with all four seats in row one blocked, not just the EF seats.Īnother check for random dates in January shows a forward cabin in the 739 with just two rows - one and two - with AB and EF seats.
