Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8 (160 seats)

160 seats: 8 good, 10 mixed, 13 to avoid

Best seats

  • Row 3, seat A (Cloud Nine): cloud Nine window seat in the middle of the small cabin, away from the galleys.
  • 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.
  • Row 17, seats B, C, J and K (Economy): exit row with extra legroom

Seats to avoid

  • Row 4, seat L (Cloud Nine): next to a galley, with light and noise during service
  • Row 16, seats A, B, C, J and K (Economy): in front of the overwing exit row, so recline is likely limited
  • Row 16, seat L (Economy): in front of the exit row, so recline is likely limited.
  • Row 34, seats A and L (Economy): last row, against the rear toilets.

Gol Linhas Aereas Boeing 737 MAX 8 (Domestic, 186 seats)

186 seats: 30 good, 12 mixed, 9 to avoid

Best seats

  • Rows 2–5, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (GOL+ Comfort): gOL+ Comfort seat near the front: more legroom and recline, GOL says, and quick off the aircraft.
  • Row 17, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy): gOL+ Comfort seat behind the gap GOL draws over the wing: extra legroom, and likely an exit row, so you must be willing and able to help in an emergency and bags go overhead.

Seats to avoid

  • Row 10, seat A (Economy): window seat without a window, GOL says: a wall panel where the view should be.
  • Row 11, seats A and F (Economy): window seat without a window, GOL says: a wall panel where the view should be.
  • Row 33, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy): last row: it doesn't recline, GOL marks, and it backs onto the rear lavatories, with queues and noise beside you.
