Variant identity
Delta Air Lines uses this Boeing 737-900ER page for 12F / 161Y. The seat counts below come from this airline-aircraft layout, not a generic aircraft template.
- 12F / 161Y
- 173 seats as drawn
- 12 First Class, 161 Main Cabin
Seat-map fields were independently confirmed against recorded evidence for Delta Air Lines. Seat codes, cabin assignments, row structure and cabin totals passed independent source verification. Spacing and facility placement remain schematic unless the map explicitly says otherwise. The map cannot render unless its seat-by-seat count reproduces the published totals exactly (12F + 161Y = 173 on this aircraft). Per-seat notes are rewritten into plain-language warnings for row selection.
