Best advice:
Coach row 6D an 6E are great (there is no 6F)... I've never felt like I missed out on a great upgrade when I've been seated in a seat like 6D. I've flown the US 757 to/from AMS in this pair of seats. These are great seats and if available (as PHL says) I am not going to be bummed at all if my trip over the pond is in these seats. Lots of room AND space under the seat in front of you for stuff. As noted, bring your own IFE. |

There's basically the Hawaii version and the Envoy/Transatlantic version. But there is a slight variation in some of the TA birds in the first few rows.
Best advice: Coach row 6D an 6E are great (there is no 6F) Then, in order of preference: 7C, 7B and anything in 24. All the above have fantastic legroom. The row 4 bulkhead seats may feel cramped... US(and many airlines) have been flying 757's across the Atlantic for quite some time. Continental was an early trailblazer of this practice. PHL-AMS is not a horribly long trip. Bring an iPad loaded with some movies, take a nap for a few hours and you'll be there in no time. I've never felt like I missed out on a great upgrade when I've been seated in a seat like 6D. |

Thanks for the advice, but I will be traveling with my wife and 11 year old daughter. Looks like all the rows you mentioned are Exit rows.
Alternatively, 7B, C are exit, but 7D (across the aisle) is not. |

Can anyone confirm if there is some space below the bulkhead wall on the D,E,F side of row 4?
This little space helps give me a little more stretch room. I read a post were someone mentioned there is space on the left side under the bulkhead. He was mentioning a small child crawling under the wall and shaking his seat back in first. TT |
US 757 Layout -- odd
So I'm on flight 714 from PHX to PHL on a 757-200. Oddly, none of seatguru's 5 different 757 layouts completely match the plane. Is there one that best matches it? Or should I look somewhere else?
I'm currently in 7E-- some version have extra legroom and others don't..... Thoughts? |
Typically it would be this one: http://www.seatguru.com/airlines/US_..._757-200_B.php
The "version 4" they list is a mystery to me - I can't think of any Envoy-equipped 757 that doesn't have a 3D or a 5ABC. However, this is the seatmap that they're showing 714 to be next Monday per the reservations system. I suppose that one of the 757s they recently acquired has a different emergency exit configuration that forces this. |
The thing that perplexes me is that flight 714 on USAirways doesn't have a row 5/6 which is different than the seatguru link...... and it has a row 23 def but no 23 abc.
Any other ideas? |

Someone mentioned earlier in the thread that Row 4 (bulkead) seems cramped. I am on US 1455 PHL-SXM in 4EF with my girlfriend in March. Should I switch seats? She tends to get claustrophobic (extra legroom helps) but would also like a window. I am also US Silver.
Thanks! |
I know seat 3D doesn't show up on the seat map and is reserved crew rest on a 757, but for Caribbean runs, is that seat ultimately assigned to someone? I am flying SXM-PHL and it is showing F0 at T-15. I am wondering if there is a chance that 3D was held back and ultimately gets released at the gate if it isn't being used. Or, do they just sell it and not assign the seat until you get to the airport?

752 Seat Question
I've seen a uniformed pilot leave the cockpit and occupy 3D on PHL-AUA. Could there be 3 pilots since the same crew does PHL-AUA-PHL?
|
When I flew SJU-CLT in October 3D was not showing up on the seat map. Upon boarding it was there and US ended up upgrading a guy in uniform right before they closed the doors.
