300 seats: 99 good, 22 mixed, 15 to avoid
Best seats
- Rows 2–8, seats A and J (First Class): first Class window suite with a privacy door and its own aisle access: the most private seats on the aircraft.
- Rows 3–8, seats C and G (First Class): first Class centre suite with its own aisle access: good for two travelling together.
- Row 14, seats A, C, D, F, G and J (Main Cabin): premium Class front row, behind the exit doors: extra legroom and nobody in front, though bags go overhead and the galleys are just ahead.
- Row 15, seats A, C, D, F, G and J (Main Cabin): premium Class: extra legroom in Alaska's Premium Class block at the front of the Main Cabin.
Seats to avoid
- Row 28, seats D, E and F (Main Cabin): last row of the forward middle block, against the three lavatories Alaska draws behind it: recline is likely limited and the queue forms beside you.
- Row 29, seats A, B, C, H and J (Main Cabin): last row of the forward Main Cabin, against the lavatories Alaska draws behind it: recline is likely limited and the lavatory queue forms beside you.
- Row 47, seats B and C (Main Cabin): pair of two seats at the back, against the rear lavatory Alaska draws behind them: likely limited recline and the queue by your seat.
- Row 47, seats G and H (Main Cabin): pair of two seats at the back, in front of the rear galley: likely limited recline and galley noise.
