SunExpress seat maps: which aircraft XQ actually flies

SunExpress (XQ) flies a short fleet in 2LNR's schedule data, reaching 108 airports: Boeing 737-800 and Boeing 737 MAX 8. Some flights are filed only as a Boeing 737, without the variant. On an operation this focused the cabin is close to predictable, which makes the seat itself the whole decision.

SunExpress fleet as flown

Aircraft types XQ currently schedules on its own metal. Regional flying under the XQ brand counts as XQ metal; flights XQ markets but another airline operates don't.

SunExpress aircraft types, with the nonstop routes and airports each one serves
Aircraft Nonstop routes Airports served Typical route
Boeing 737-800 482 108 1,360 mi
Boeing 737 MAX 8 346 89 1,360 mi
Boeing 737 294 87 1,340 mi

Route counts are distinct directional nonstop city pairs in 2LNR's schedule data. Where an airline files a family code without naming a variant, the card reads as the family, because that is what was filed; 2LNR doesn't guess the airframe.

Distances are great-circle miles between the two airports, rounded to the nearest ten, not the track a flight actually files. A longest route is shown only where every one of that aircraft's routes could be measured, and a typical route only where most of them could; where the measurement was too thin, the figure is left out rather than estimated.

How to see the seat map for your XQ flight

Add the flight and open it. On Pro, 2LNR reads the seat map for that XQ flight and date, scores the open seats inside your own cabin and marks paid seats as paid. The map is read when you ask, not stored, so an aircraft swap shows up as a different map instead of a wrong one.

Cabins churn in the last days before departure as blocked rows release and upgrades clear. Seat monitoring re-reads the map on a cadence that tightens as departure approaches and tells you when a better seat opens, or when the seat you hold changes underneath you.

2LNR doesn't publish stored cabin drawings or per-seat comfort ratings for XQ aircraft. To browse a layout on an aircraft you haven't booked, use a maintained diagram library such as AeroLOPA.

Frequently asked questions about SunExpress (XQ) aircraft

What aircraft does SunExpress fly?
Two aircraft types appear on SunExpress' own metal in 2LNR's schedule data, reaching 108 airports, including Boeing 737-800 and Boeing 737 MAX 8. The full list is on this page, with the nonstop routes each one operates and the recorded cabin configuration where there is one. Regional flying under the XQ brand is counted as XQ metal; flights XQ markets but another airline operates are not.
Where does this XQ fleet information come from?
From the schedules 2LNR collects continuously and uses to build its own route map: every aircraft listed here is one XQ has filed against a nonstop route it operates, and the counts are the routes in that data. It is a picture of what is scheduled, not an aircraft register, so a type XQ owns but is not currently scheduling will not appear. Route lengths are great-circle distances between the two airports rather than flown track miles.
What is the longest route SunExpress flies?
Of the routes in 2LNR's schedule data, the longest XQ operates on its own metal is Almaty (ALA) to Izmir (ADB), about 2,590 miles great-circle, flown on the Boeing 737-800. That is the distance between the two airports rather than the track the flight actually takes, and it is the routing rather than the aircraft that decides it: XQ schedules more than one type on many of its routes.
