Southwest Airline Seat Dimensions
Southwest Airlines seats are typically 17.2 inches wide in mainline aircraft. Pitch, the distance between a point on one seat and the same point on the seat behind, is usually 31 to 33 inches depending on the aircraft type.
Seat Comfort and Legroom
Legroom is determined by seat pitch. A 31-inch pitch provides less space than a 33-inch pitch. Southwest does not offer premium seats with extra legroom, so all passengers receive the same seat dimensions and pitch across most flights.
Aircraft Types and Seat Layouts
Southwest operates Boeing 737-700, 737-800, and 737 MAX 8 aircraft. These planes use a single-aisle, 3-3 seating configuration. Seat width and pitch remain consistent across these models, though slight variations can occur by aircraft.
