What we could not settle on this aircraft
Xiamen Airlines publishes one seat map for its Boeing 737-700 and one seat count to go with it — 128 seats, 8 Business and 120 Economy — unlike its 737-800, for which it publishes three different cabins. Business pitch is given as "43 in / 38 in" for the two rows without saying which row gets which, so no Business pitch figure is shown here rather than a guessed one. Economy's 30 inches is unambiguous and is shown.

Quick pick, by traveller
| If you're… | Pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Travelling solo | 41A | A window seat rated highly with nothing working against it — lean on the wall, control the shade, nobody climbing over you. |
| Tall passengers | 41A | Genuine extra legroom that also still reclines — not every extra-legroom seat does. |
| Trying to sleep | 41A | 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 12C | Business 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. |
| 12J | Business 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. |
| 11C | Business Class | A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service. |
| 11J | Business Class | A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service. |
| 60C | Economy 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. |
| 60J | Economy 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. |
| 60A | Economy 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. |
| 60B | Economy 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. |
Known quirks on this aircraft
- Seat doesn't recline (16 seats: 12A, 12C, 12J, 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 (12 seats: 11C, 11J, 12C, 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 (16 seats: 11A, 11C, 11J, 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.
