First version of Boeing 737-800 is the most common in the Qantas Airways fleet.


This airplane may accommodate 167 passengers that are divided into two classes: business and economy.

Business class consists of 3 rows of seats that have 2-2 configuration. The seats of the 1st rowhave limited legroom and have no overhead storage as it is used for equipment.

The main disadvantage of the seats of the 3rd row is the noise from the more crowded economy class that is located behind this row.

Economy class has 26 rows of seats that have 3-3 configuration.

Passengers of the seats of the 4th row will feel comfortable thanks to the extra legroom. As the tray tables are built-in the armrests the width of these seats is reduced a little. These seats are considered the best seats.

Missing window makes the seat 9A bad seat.

Misaligned windows and reduced space for shoulders are the main disadvantages of the seats 10A and 10F.

Due to the exit row located behind the seats of the 12th row are less reclining than standard and are not reclining at all during take-off and landing.

As the seats of the 13th row are located between two exit rows, on the one hand they offer extra legroom, but on the other hand they have limited recline. Also these seats have a little less cushioning. During take-off and landing recline of these seats is locked. Among other disadvantages: it can get cold during the flight by the exits and these seats have no floor storage during take-off and landing.

Thanks to the exit row located in front the seats of the 14th row offer extra legroom. However, these seats have less cushioning, have no floor storage during take-off and landing and passengers of these seats can get cold by the exits during the flight.

Close location of the galleys and lavatories will cause discomfort to passengers of the seats 28C and 28D.

Limited recline and proximity of the lavatories and galleys make the seats of the 29th row bad seats.

This version of Boeing 737-800 consists of 174 seats divided into two classes: business and economy.

Business class includes 3 rows of seats per 4in each. All these seats are standard. Passengers of the seats of the 1st row will feel comfortable thanks to the extra legroom. But the noise from the galleys and lavatory will cause discomfort.

Economy class may transport 162 passengers.

The best seats of the economy class are the seats of the 4th row as they offer extra space for passengers legs.

Because of the exit row located behind the seats of the 12th row are less reclining than standard.

The seats of the 13th row have extra legroom thanks to the exit row located in front. But due to another exit row located behind these seats have limited recline.

Extra legroom makes the seats of the 14th row good seats.

Other passengers tend to congregate in the area of the seats 29C, 29D and of the seats of the last 30th row. In addition the seats of the 30th row have limited recline. That is why these seats are considered bad seats.
