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.
