Pros of Seat 38B
- Located in the rear of the plane, which may allow for quicker deplaning if you’re near the back.
- Often has more legroom than seats in the middle of the cabin, especially if the aircraft is a 737-800 with a 3-3 layout.🔗
Cons of Seat 38B
- May be near the galley or lavatory, leading to increased noise and foot traffic.
- On some United 737-800 flights, the last row (Row 38) is a center seat only, which could mean limited window access and proximity to the aisle. 🔗
- In some configurations, seats in the last row are not ideal for comfort due to proximity to the rear galley or emergency equipment.
Given that seat 38B is a center seat in the last row, it may not offer the best view or comfort, especially if you value window access or quiet. View from the Wing

Review: United Airlines Boeing 737-800 Economy (SFO-AUS)
On our way back from San Francisco, ATX Jr. and I were flying back with Mrs. ATX who was on a work trip. Therefore, even though we flew United First on the way out, our trip back was in Economy on a United Airlines Boeing 737-800. Since we were tagging along with Mrs. ATX on the flight she had booked for work, I didn’t need to do much searching. Prices were high for the day we needed to travel, South by Southwest was happening in Austin at the time, so I did take a quick look at Google Flights

United’s 787 Seatmap Updated
In yesterday’s post on United’s new 787 serving Denver – Tokyo, I noted that the schedule was live and thus a 787 seatmap was online that you could access when making a (dummy) booking. But the seatmap looked odd, since it had more seats available than the announced configuration of the aircraft was supposed to hold, and the seatmap didn’t specifically flag economy plus. Seth notes in the comments on that post that overnight United has updated the seatmap, and these problems appear fixed. Here’s the new seatmap: (Click on the seatmap above to enlarge) It’s interesting that there’s no center section of seats in row 16, but that the center section of row 23 is economy plus (while the right and left sides are not), and that the row 27 exit seats are considered economy plus seats… also that the two final rows — 37 and 38 — are center seats only. Talk about exposure to lavatory traffic!
