How many seats does SunExpress' 737 MAX 8 have in this configuration?

189 seats in total, arranged as Y/Y. This is one specific configuration — SunExpress' fleet may include other configurations of the same aircraft type, covered below.

Is this the only cabin layout SunExpress flies on the 737 MAX 8?

Yes, as far as we can determine — SunExpress flies only this one cabin layout on the 737 MAX 8. There's no "version lottery" to worry about on this specific type for this airline.

Which seats should I avoid?

Seat 2C in Economy is worth avoiding: The lavatory is directly next to you, so expect people queueing in the aisle and door noise, especially on a night flight. The full seat map marks every seat we'd steer you away from, with the specific reason for each.

Quick pick, by traveller

If you're…	Pick	Why
Travelling solo	12A	A window seat rated highly with nothing working against it — lean on the wall, control the shade, nobody climbing over you.
Tall passengers	12B	Genuine extra legroom that also still reclines — not every extra-legroom seat does.
Nervous flyers	12B	Over the wing, close to the aircraft's structural centre of gravity — the smoothest ride on board when it's bumpy.
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
2C	Economy	The lavatory is directly next to you, so expect people queueing in the aisle and door noise, especially on a night flight.
2D	Economy	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.
32A	Economy (aft partial row)	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.
32B	Economy (aft partial row)	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.
32C	Economy (aft partial row)	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 (15 seats: 11A, 11B, 11C, and 12 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 (12 seats: 1C, 1D, 2C, and 9 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 (15 seats: 1A, 1B, 1C, and 12 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.
Wing blocks the view (12 seats: 11A, 11F, 12A, and 9 more) — The wing sits directly outside this window, blocking most of the view — but you also get one of the smoothest, quietest rides on the aircraft.
