seat map?
 
Which is more accurate - seat guru or seat expert?

I am looking at window seat 11F on a Boeing 737-400.

Seat Expert says obstructed view but Seat Guru says average.

How can I find out if this window is partial? I hate to just pick a seat farther back....

Thank you

what airline? what route?

I usually go to seatguru first. That doesn't mean that seatexpert isn't reliable... just out of habit for me, I guess. I've used seatguru a lot longer.

Almost certain the OP is talking about Alaska Airlines. Row 11 is two rows ahead of the first exit row. And you can see from this photo that 2 windows are missing from about Rows 9-11:

I have no first hand information, but based on this photo, Row 12 has no problems with its two windows. Row 11 should have a window right next to the seat, but missing the forward window.

Wow. Pretty smart! Yes, it is with Alaska Air. What do you mean by the forward window?

All 4 legs are for AS.

I guess from the picture it means the seat in front doesn't have a window? Will I still be able to 'sightsee' easily from 11F?

Again, thanks

Windows are not aligned to seats, as seats are usually placed about 31-32" apart, while windows are about 20 inches apart on Boeing 737s. So, for each row of seat, there'a about 1.6 windows. For Row 11, there should be a window right next to the seat. But not the one that's IN FRONT, that was supposed to be there, but isn't due to the configuration of this aircraft.

[The windows are missing for positioning the A/C ducts.]
