About the United Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9 Layout 1
United's Boeing 737 MAX 9 Layout 1 carries 179 passengers across 20 United First seats and 159 main-cabin seats, 48 of which are sold as Economy Plus. The published seat map is distinctive because it skips rows 6, 13, 16 to 19 and 33, uses a right-side-only row 7 behind First, and then splits row 14 so the left side becomes standard Economy while the right side remains Economy Plus.
The strongest extra-space seats are row 7D-F, row 8A-C and the exit-row Economy Plus seats in rows 20 and 21. The main trade-offs are row 15 and row 39, both of which United lists with zero recline, plus the aft cabin around row 39 where the lavatories and galley sit immediately behind the last row.
