Flyer Reviews of the Southwest

great seats
[Seat 17F on a Boeing 737-700]

Retro fitted Southwest Airlines new seats are amazing, much more leg room, you can stretch under the seat in front of you, good tray table depth. I have flown many Southwest 737s and the only thing different between Southwests Sky Interior and the retro fit to newer more comfortable seats was genius. The new seats in the MAX comparably are not as comfortable as in the NG Family retro fits. That’s the only downside. I only left a single star for IFE because screens are not provided, its provided through their free in service wifi connection, currently you text via imessage and WhatsApp, nothing on Android, but you can follow the flight, watch movies, and which, the streaming was very good, better than many IFE’s. So all and all, I would have to say, the retro fitted Southwest Airlines interior seating hits it out of the ball park. I am also 6 feet tall.

This seat is okey, it has average legroom and not vary good recline. Evan with the new Boeing sky interior, the aircraft still fells out dated

This seat is maybe my favorite seat in the plane. You get two windows a bit of extra room and you get engine views!

Best seat on the plane. No one wants to sit that far back so chances are you will have the whole row to yourself. My last 2 flights sat alone with the armrest up and comfortable.

for a short flight (about 40 minutes) this is a pretty good seat as long as you aren't a large person or have long legs.

Might be one of the two best seats on the plane. Better legroom, seat reclines, the seat in front doesn't recline, has a tray. Excellent.
[Seat 16C on a Boeing 737-800]

Not terrible, but not good either, does not recline (exit row behind).
[Seat 13E on a Boeing 737-800]

I lucked out with this seat... has extra legroom; no under seat stowage during takeoff and landing; traytable in armrest means narrower seat.
