About this layout
Identify this configurationMatch it to your El Al booking ↓
Match these clues against the seat selector in your airline booking or manage-booking screen. Aircraft names alone are not enough because one airline can fly several cabin layouts of the same type.
- Configuration label: 16J / 159Y
- 175 seats total
- Cabin split: 16J · 159Y
- Seat selector spans rows 1–52
- Business: 2-2 across rows 1–4
- Economy: 3-3 across rows 21, 22–28, 34–52
If the total, cabin split, row numbers, or seats abreast do not match, return to the El Al configuration list instead of relying on this map.

Variant identity
El Al uses this Boeing 737-900 page for 16J / 159Y. The seat counts below are taken from the validated layout, not a generic aircraft template.
- 16J / 159Y
- 175 seats as drawn
- 16 Business, 159 Economy
The seat grid and cabin totals pass FlightQ's internal coordinate and arithmetic checks; a public source link is not currently available. The map cannot render unless its seat-by-seat count reproduces the published totals exactly (16J + 159Y = 175 on this aircraft). Per-seat notes are rewritten into plain-language warnings for row selection.
