Windowless seat on virgin 737 = 8A not 9A

[mx838383]

On flight today and was travelling with virgin on the 737-800. I thought that I had a window seat based on seat guru and selected 8A and tried to avoid 9A. In actual fact, 8A was the windowless seat not 9A.

Seatguru stopped updating seat maps in 2020. So, not sure about how reliable the information would be.

Seatguru has been out of date for many years.

aerolopa VA B737-800 (30 rows) shows 9A as windowless, but only on left side So also in error?

Virgin recently began refurbishing their Boeing 737-800 fleet. Were you on one of the new planes with a new layout?

(If you let us know the aircraft registration or flight number/date we can probably work that out.)

Or one of the Silk Air aircraft? There's no Row 12 on those, which would make the windowless seat at Row 8, not 9.
