Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737-800 (154 seats)

154 seats: 9 good, 9 mixed, 12 to avoid

Best seats

  • Row 1, seat A (Cloud Nine): front row of Cloud Nine, by the bassinet position and the front galley.
  • Row 3, seat C (Cloud Nine): cloud Nine aisle seat in the middle of the small cabin, away from the front toilet and galley.
  • Row 11, seat A (Economy): first Economy row, behind a wall, so nobody reclines into you.
  • Row 17, seat A (Economy): exit row beside the overwing exits, drawn with extra space in front.

Seats to avoid

  • Row 16, seat A (Economy): in front of the exit row, so recline is likely limited.
  • Row 16, seats B, C, J, K and L (Economy): in front of the overwing exit row, so recline is likely limited
  • Row 33, seats A and L (Economy): last row, against the rear toilets.
  • Row 33, seats B, C, J and K (Economy): next to a lavatory, with queues, noise and flushing

WestJet Boeing 737-800 (Layout 1, 174 seats)

174 seats: 12 good, 4 mixed, 24 to avoid

Best seats

  • Rows 13–14, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy): exit row on WestJet's list (overwing): extra legroom. You must be willing and able to help in an emergency, and bags go overhead for take-off and landing.

Seats to avoid

  • Row 12, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy): westJet says seats in row 12 do not recline, as it sits in front of an exit row.
  • Rows 28–29, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy): westJet says seats in the last three rows are less wide, where the fuselage curves; it doesn't say which seats
  • Row 30, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy): westJet says seats in row 30 do not recline, and it backs onto the rear lavatories.
