Legacy US Airways / America West 757-2S7 ("B75H") to / from Hawai'i
Returning to Lessor mid-2018
Returning to Lessor mid-2018
This "West" or "Hawaii" (B75H) (ex-HP) aircraft is distinguished by offering 14 First class seats (2x2 across, 38" pitch, ~20" width reclining seats), 176 standard "Main Cabin" / economy seats (3x3 across, 32" pitch, 17" width) including 10? exit row seats designated Main Cabin Extra.
These aircraft are being retired from AA service and returned to their lessor and will be replaced by the Legacy U. S. Airways "East" (non-HP, US 757-2B7 / B57E with 12 "Envoy" angled flat 2 x 2 seats in First, 164 standard "Main Cabin" seats with 12 exit row seats designated MCE, beginning in April 2018. (Thanks to TWA884 - see here.)
No power, no IFE; at least the LHP "West" 752s (like the LAA "Eisenhower" F seats) have no head rests.

Bummer, was hoping to recline on the redeye back from the island...oh well, based on the seat maps on airline webpage it looks like we have the Envoy seats between PHX and PHL.

Meals are good -- in the sense that the food is edible and would be good for a 4 hour domestic flight.

This year they ran an East 757 with Envoy on one of the HNL flights. It was due to a West 757 going back to the leasor so no way of telling if the same will be true next summer.

Why would seats 4A&C have limited recline but not 4D&F? Isn't the bulkhead behind both rows? This is the first configuration, the one that flies to & from HI I believe.

So row 4 does have a LITTLE less recline than 1>3? if you had a choice would you choose to sit in 1, 2, 3 or 4?

Two more questions.
1) are there power points in FC on these aircraft?
2) does anyone know the type of meal served on the redeye flights from HNL? My itinerary only says "meal" so not sure if it is breakfast dinner or nothing which is typical on other red eyes.
Thanks again. This is very helpful

No power ports in FC and the last return meal I had was a breakfast.

I flew DCA-PHX back in the spring on a 757 with the envoy seats, and it was continuing on to HNL.

Best 757 (west config) seats in Economy for 2?
Hi All --
For those who have flown on the west-configured 757 (with 14 F seats), which coach seats would you recommend for 2 folks flying together? 9D/9E? Or, 10B/10C? A friend and I will be taking this plane DCA-PHX.
Thanks very much!
P.S. - Mods, feel free to move this post if it's in the wrong place.

If you're only traveling with 1 other person, I'd pick row 9, window or not. Middles blow.

Can't comment on that, as I've never had the pleasure of flying in coach on one of these birds. I just remember that from boarding at door 2L, but I would imagine they would have a ton of legroom with the 2R exit door there.

Seatguru.com is your friend. Nothing special about this configuration as its the domestic config. You'll be comfy enough for the quick hop from CLT-PHX. The actual condition will be aircraft dependent but I suspect you'll have a clean but tired interior.

I looked at seat guru, so I know that one. I was more interested if US was flying the decrepit HI versions for these routes and if refits were done.
All I know US could swap it out with an A321 if this goes MX.
