Variant identity
WestJet uses this Boeing 737 MAX 8 page for 12W / 162Y. The seat counts below come from this airline-aircraft layout, not a generic aircraft template.
- 12W / 162Y
- 174 seats as drawn
- 12 Premium, 162 Economy
Seat-map fields were independently confirmed against recorded evidence for WestJet. 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 (12W + 162Y = 174 on this aircraft). Per-seat notes are rewritten into plain-language warnings for row selection.
