Not yet confirmed against a primary source. Treat row-level detail as indicative and check at booking.
Alaska Airlines publishes 198 seats for this aircraft; this map draws 196. Alaska states 198 seats. First Class and Premium Class divide exactly into whole rows and are drawn in full. The 158 Main Cabin seats do not — 158 is not a multiple of six — and no source gives the row or the seats that the short row loses, so this map draws 26 full rows of six and leaves the last two seats off rather than guessing which two they are.
What we could not settle on this aircraft
This Alaska Airlines 737-900 holds 198 seats — 16 First, 24 Premium Class and 158 Main Cabin — according to Simple Flying, the aviation-press source cited here. Alaska's own aircraft page could not be read in full. First and Premium divide into whole rows exactly. The 158 Main Cabin seats do not divide into rows of six, so at least one Main Cabin row is short, and nobody has published which row it is or which seats it loses. We draw the 26 full rows the figure supports, 156 seats, and leave the last two off the map rather than invent a partial row in a position no source gives.
Our best current understanding, not yet confirmed against a primary source.
About this cabin
Alaska Airlines' 737-900 in this configuration seats 196 (F/Y/Y). This is our best current estimate for this layout, built mainly from secondary sources — treat exact seat-by-seat detail with a little more caution than usual. Alaska Airlines flies only this one cabin layout on the 737-900 — no version lottery on this type.
Quick pick, by traveller
| If you're… | Pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Travelling solo | 2A | A window seat rated highly with nothing working against it — lean on the wall, control the shade, nobody climbing over you. |
| Travelling as a couple | 2A | This row's layout puts a genuine two-seat pair here — no middle seat exists in this group, so it's just the two of you. |
| Tall passengers | 17A | Genuine extra legroom that also still reclines — not every extra-legroom seat does. |
| Trying to sleep | 2A | A window seat away from galley and lavatory traffic, so aisle lights and trolley passes are less likely to wake you. |

Seats to avoid
| Seat | Cabin | Why to avoid it |
|---|---|---|
| 4B | First Class | This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight. |
| 4C | First Class | This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight. |
| 4A | First Class | This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight. |
| 4D | First Class | This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight. |
| 6C | Premium Class | A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service. |
| 6D | Premium Class | A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service. |
| 6A | Premium Class | A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service. |
| 6B | Premium Class | A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service. |
| 16C | Main Cabin | This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight. |
| 16D | Main Cabin | This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight. |
Known quirks on this aircraft
- Seat doesn't recline (16 seats: 4A, 4B, 4C, and 13 more) — This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight.
- High foot traffic (10 seats: 4B, 4C, 6C, and 7 more) — This aisle seat sits right next to a lavatory, galley or exit, so expect a steady stream of people brushing past, especially early and late in the flight.
- No underseat storage (10 seats: 1A, 1B, 1C, and 7 more) — Bulkhead and exit-row seats have nothing in front of the seat to store a bag under, so your bag must go in the overhead bin for the whole flight.
Frequently asked
- How many seats does Alaska Airlines' 737-900 have in this configuration?
- 196 seats in total, arranged as F/Y/Y. This is one specific configuration — Alaska Airlines' fleet may include other configurations of the same aircraft type, covered below.
- Is this the only cabin layout Alaska Airlines flies on the 737-900?
- Yes, as far as we can determine — Alaska Airlines flies only this one cabin layout on the 737-900. There's no "version lottery" to worry about on this specific type for this airline.
- Which seats should I avoid?

- Has a real person checked these individual seat scores?
- Not yet for this specific configuration. The scores above come from our rules engine, which reasons from real aircraft geometry, but they aren't marked as human-verified until someone has actually reviewed the unusual ones — see the verification section below for the current status.
