189 seats: 15 good, 3 mixed, 6 to avoid

Row 2, seat A (Economy Class): no seat in front: the map draws no seat 1A, so there is more room for your legs.
Row 2, seat B (Economy Class): no seat in front: the map draws no seat 1B, so there is more room for your legs.
Row 2, seat C (Economy Class): no seat in front: the map draws no seat 1C, so there is more room for your legs.
Rows 15–16, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy Class): exit row on Air Canada's table: extra legroom. You must be willing and able to help in an emergency, and bags go overhead for take-off and landing.

Row 32, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy Class): last row of Economy Class, with lavatories or a galley behind it: there is traffic and noise.

161 seats: 44 good, 18 mixed, 12 to avoid

Rows 2–4, seats A and F (First Class): first Class window seat away from the front galley and lavatory.
Rows 2–4, seats C and D (First Class): first Class aisle seat: wider recliner, easy to get up without climbing past anyone.
Row 6, seats A and F (Premium Class): premium Class bulkhead window, the first row behind First Class: 4 inches more legroom than Main Cabin and early off the plane, though bags go overhead for takeoff and landing.
Row 6, seats C and D (Premium Class): premium Class bulkhead aisle seat right behind First Class, with Premium Class legroom and nobody reclining into you.

Row 15, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Main Cabin): row in front of the overwing exits: recline is likely limited (Alaska's drawing doesn't say), and it has no exit-row legroom of its own.
Row 32, seats A, B and C (Main Cabin): last row on this side, against the lavatories Alaska draws behind it: recline is likely limited and the lavatory queue forms by your seat.
Row 33, seats D, E and F (Main Cabin): last row of the aircraft, against the rear lavatory and galley: recline is likely limited, with galley noise and the lavatory queue beside you.
