Boeing squeezed every possible row into this one. The longest 737 variant before the MAX era, packed for high-density routes.
Fun fact
The 737-900ER was the first 737 to feature a flat rear pressure bulkhead, adding extra seats.
How to spot one
Longest 737NG variant. Two pairs of overwing exits like the -800, but noticeably longer fuselage.
Crews call it
The Stretch
Sounds like
Same CFM56 profile as the -800, slightly heavier on takeoff roll
