The third leg of the triad is plane size (or perhaps # of rows)
Earlier this month, I flew coast to coast with middle seat open ... as committed and a good experience overall. Learned to pack own food for the new United
I received a text the day before return flight from East to West

thought “fairly full” meant all rows, not all seats as we sat six across in the 737 (and as luck would have it, someone else also sitting in the seat, mask not on — partial blame to cabin crew on that misdirect and enforcement ). Not a good experience, but doubt that I’ll get any survey form (feedback will take the form of looking at other airlines)
Only options were indirect flights and layovers or fly another day when same issue might occur
does the 737 save so much over the 757 that it’s worth packing the passengers?
