Seat Map Southwest Airlines Boeing B737 MAX 8

Flew Southwest non stop from Phoenix. At the gate we noticed availability for A 1-15 boarding so splurged on the extra $40 each to get priority boarding - worth it as we sat in the Bulk Head, no one sat between us so we enjoyed the full row to ourselves. Lots of legroom! Especially for a 7hr flt. Only downside is that the trays come out of the arm rest so we couldn't lift them. But otherwise a good choice. Flight was full with only 10 unused seats. It is Southwest so food is just a snack so we always grab a sandwich for our flights. We are not big people so the seats are good for us.

The legroom was adequate, though I am shorter than average. The fold-up armrests came in handy since my wife and I had an open seat between us. Had I been in the center seat, I think I would have felt cramped. It is worthy to note that I am not an experienced, or frequent, flyer.

Being a Southwest flight, obviously the bare necessities but the plane was brand new, clean, and comfortable for the most part. Did not recline my seat so I gave an average rating and food and drink received an average rating too because Southwest is known for bare bones flight in service.
