Xiamen Airlines Seating
I was assigned seat 43-C on a Xiamen Airlines flight on their 737-700 aircraft. Seat map only shows 23 rows. Do they use a different numbering system on their rows? I tried calling their overseas number to confirm and after about 5 minutes on hold it keeps saying they are busy and disconnects me.
Thanks for the insight.

I am booked in Business and have been allocated a seat in row 12. That seems an awful long way back for Business class on a short flight, makes me wonder if they offer a one class service only on certain short flights (such as XMN-HKG).

Chinese airlines like to use standardized row and seat numbers across all fleet, such row 1 will always be first row of F, row 11 first row of J, and row 31 first row of Y. Another example would be seat A, L will always be windows, while seat C, D, H, J will always be aisle. It makes it a bit easier when aircraft type is switched.
