About this cabin
Icelandair's 737 MAX 9 in this configuration seats 178 (J/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. Icelandair flies only this one cabin layout on the 737 MAX 9 — no version lottery on this type.
Quick pick, by traveller
| If you're… | Pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Travelling solo | 3A | 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 | 3A | 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 | 5A | Genuine extra legroom that also still reclines — not every extra-legroom seat does. |
| Trying to sleep | 3A | 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 1B | Saga Premium | The lavatory is directly next to you, so expect people queueing in the aisle and door noise, especially on a night flight. |
| 1C | Saga Premium | The lavatory is directly next to you, so expect people queueing in the aisle and door noise, especially on a night flight. |
| 1A | Saga Premium | The lavatory is directly next to you, so expect people queueing in the aisle and door noise, especially on a night flight. |
| 1D | Saga Premium | The lavatory is directly next to you, so expect people queueing in the aisle and door noise, especially on a night flight. |
| 31C | Economy | 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. |
| 31D | Economy | 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. |
| 31A | Economy | 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 (8 seats: 1B, 1C, 2B, and 5 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 (16 seats: 1A, 1B, 1C, and 13 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.
