Consolidated 75D/H Comfort+ Seating Thread
Flying 03/04/17 LAX-ATL on 757-200 (75D). We now have comfort seating in 18 D&E but have option for 15 DEF, 16 ABC or 16DEF. Should I stick with 18 or switch. This is a connecting flight from KOA redeye. I have checked seatguru and get conflicting opinions on these seats. Any help?

I personally prefer a window and also enjoy the "mini-cabin" feel of rows 15-17, so I personally would select 16A. Not sure if any of this helps, just my random Tuesday morning rumblings. Enjoy the trip next year.

Actually, row 15 does have area to extend feet and baggage stow under the first class seats--there is no bulkhead wall. I would take A/C or D/F seats so neither is stuck in the middle given it is a red eye.

18DE are like bulkhead seats in that there is no underseat storage (and iirc there is some equipment stowed in at least a portion of the overhead bin on that side)

Also I just noticed ....since this flight is months out, keep an eye on your seat assignments if this is very important to you. Delta may adjust the fleet type to a different 757 type or other a/c type which will uproot you.

757-200 (75D) Economy Comfort Seats
I've done an exhaustive search and I haven't seen via any google search any good pics of the 757-200 (75D) Economy Comfort seats - from bulkhead to others.
Anyone have any pics to share or know where I can find any? Thx

Really depends on what kind of 757 you are interested in, but here is one example:

Any thoughts as to the best window seat in the EC mini cabin? Right now, they are all open.
Thanks!
p.s. Wasn't sure to post in this thread or this older one https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/delt...sing-seat.html

It depends, just like everything else.
there's no single "best" seat, they all have different attributes and people value those attributes differently. Are fixed armrests a big deal for you? What about recline? etc.

@pvn Thanks. All things being equal, 16F and 17A aren't going to work for me due to the limited recline so it's either 16A or 15A/F. I normally don't like bulkheads as I keep crap in my backpack that I like to access in flight. But, if I can stow my bag under the F seat in front, I might be willing to sit in 15; any feedback on the legroom and ability to use the F seat to stow a carry-on?
