What is distinctive about this configuration
- Identical seat counts and cabin layout to the 737 MAX 8 12J / 162Y configuration (also 12C/162M, rows 1-3 business, 4-31 economy) - the two are only distinguishable by aircraft type/ICAO (B738 vs B38M) and engine/winglet differences, not by seat map
- Last row is 31 with row 13 skipped fleet-wide (27 physical economy rows), vs e.g. Qantas's 738 which numbers 4-30 with no gap for the same 162-seat economy total
- 27-aircraft subfleet, MH's largest narrowbody type by fleet count
Where this comes from
Every row above is researched against published cabin plans for this operator and then checked against live availability. Where a figure is not known it says so rather than being estimated, which is why some pitch cells read "not recorded" instead of carrying a number we would not defend.
Seats abreast and seat pitch are defined in the glossary, alongside cabin layout.
