Flew on a 737-200 in F today (seat 1B). Just a few quick observations:
Overhead space:
Lacking in general. Since I was in the bulkhead, I had to put my briefcase overhead, and the one bin over row 1 was filled up with just my rollaboard and briefcase. Row 2 has a full size bin.
Seats:
I found the seats to be rather stiff and uncomfortable on the -200. It was a 45 minute flight, but I (scarily) found the exit row on my 3 hour ASA CRJ-700 flight a bit more comfortable than 1B (in terms of just regular comfort...only difference was more width and better service). 1B's legroom was about 2-3 inches less than 1C/D.
Ride overall:
Plane wasn't all that noisy...there was some noise, but it wasn't bad. Smooth ride all the way up front...only a few small bumps.
