Which configuration is my flight?

The aircraft model alone may not identify the cabin. Use the airline’s seat selection map and your flight details together.

  1. Match the total seat count and the number of seats in each cabin with the comparison above.
  2. If your assigned aircraft registration is available, compare it with any verified registrations listed below.

174 seats

Match 174 seats, the exact operating variant and class split in your Malaysia Airlines booking. The two 174-seat 737 types are different aircraft; the leased 300-seat A350 is not the usual 286-seat cabin. Recheck after an aircraft substitution.
