What is the best seat on Southwest's 737 MAX 8?

Best legroom: Exit rows 14–15 (34–36 in, first-come in open seating)
Best exit: Rows 1–3, window A or F (fastest deplaning)
Strategy: Check in at 24hr mark or buy EarlyBird Check-In ($15–25) for A-group

Question

Accepted Answer

Southwest uses open seating — no seat assignments. Exit rows 14–15 (34–36 in pitch) are the best seats for legroom, but go to early boarders. Rows 1–3 are best for fastest exit. The strategy: check in at exactly the 24-hour mark to get A-group boarding, or buy EarlyBird Check-In ($15–25) for automatic early check-in. Business Select guarantees A1–A15. The 737 MAX 8 has better cabin pressure and larger windows than older Southwest 737-700s.
