E+ on 737-900 and 757-300
I have a flight on a 737-900 and a 757-300. Seems that there are very limited E+ seats that show on the seat map. The up front seats show Reserved when toggled over ( they are available ) and just the exit rows show E+. I was on a flight a month ago that showed that same seat map and the "reserved" seats were actually E+ with tv screens in the seat back on front of you. Are the maps wrong? I do see the try E+ seating with the space on the map for a 737-800. Any thoughts.. Thanks and Safe Travels

If you look at the seat maps if row 14 is missing then your aircraft doesnt have E+. But be careful, because a friend of mine booked a flight and for about month before departure it showed the normal configuration, the day before it magically had the E+ configuration, so i would just keep checking your seats etc. Also only the 737-700/800/900 fleet have DTV (Some don't). The first 753 is currently in MCO awaiting STC for DTV installs.

So are you saying if there "is" a row 14 on a 737-900 and 757-300 and when you toggle over seats in the front part of economy and it shows the seat number and "reserved" it is actually E+ seating. Even though the seat map does not designate it as E+ in blue as the exit rows show?

Well I called..
Agent said that if you are premier and you toggle over seats in the front economy cabin and it says "reserved" and the ones in the back just show the seat number then the ones that are "reserved" are actually E+. Further went on and stated that they are updating aircraft and since they are planning new seatmaps later in the year this is a kind of quick fix.. Funny I believe her. As I was on a flight last month and picked a blue E+ (only E+'s were the exit rows ) only to see nice new seating in the front rows. I got off and asked for another seat. GA was not happy, I said if you cant do it, off load me and I will take another flight with SDC and have a few drinks in the UA Club. Viola 10A appeared...
