Unlike WN's previous fleet configuration, the -800 galley configuration is completely different.

Whereas the existing 737-300/500/700s have a galley set-up which provides room and a "counter" for flight attendants to set up their trays and pour drinks, the -800 galley is a more traditional galley with no counter space to pour drinks and also no area for the required fourth flight attendant to work out of.

For those of you familiar with the standard WN back galley configuration, the aft galley of the -800 is completely different.

1. As I said, there is no counter space where two flight attendants can set up trays. The aft galley is now spread all across the aft all with no counter space.

2. There is no place for the required fourth flight attendant to work without the use of a cart.

3. The two lavatories in the back of the aircraft (yes... two lavatories!) are placed in FRONT of the galley unlike the current -300/500/700 configuration where there is a single lavatory in the very back of the aircraft. For those of you familiar with standard WN aircraft, there will no longer be a reason for Customers to stand in the galley area waiting for the lone lavatory. The new configuration is just like that of most other airlines - two lavs located ahead of the galley.

Lots of changes on this aircraft. Carts, lavatories ahead of the aft galley, larger overhead bins, the Boeing Sky interior, the FA call button placed far from the overhead reading light button (preventing all of those erroneous call buttons going off when the lights are turned off).... even the most frequent WN flyer may be surprised/impressed by the changes.
