Hi. Can't seem to find a definitive source on this: In the last row (row 6) of a 757-300, do these seats have full or restricted recline? To be sure we are referring to the same aircraft, it is the configuration with 6 rows X 2 seats, then the closet and food prep, then the lavatories, then Row 14 (beginning of DC). Any help or confirmation you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Would appear to be limited recline. https://www.seatguru.com/airlines/De...57-300_75Y.php

Thanks so much for the lightning fast reply. When you hover over the guidance on this seat, though, it doesn't say anything about limited recline. Other "seat guru-like" sites show that the recline is unrestricted, too (for example, this one: http://seatexpert.com/seatmap/235/De...oeing_757-300/)

Your thoughts? Again, thanks so much.

What does Delta seat selection say? Sometimes they actually have correct info.

The 753s have all been modded, right? I'm pretty sure that they took the bulkhead out that separated F and Y. If that's the case, you should get full recline.

SeatGuru is anything but a definitive source. They say that about every seat at the rear of a section/cabin.

That's on the 752s. The 753s still have a galley, closet, and lavs behind F and F takes up the entire space between the 1 and 2 doors. I don't know if row 6 has full recline or not though but there definitely is a solid wall there.

It's warm fuzzy responses such as yours which is making me scratch my head and wonder if I shouldn't simply cease to exist in your exclusive club here at FT. And since you like to denigrate, please ponder this link which does NOT show every last row as you so eloquently state...... https://www.seatguru.com/airlines/De...aii_75H_v2.php adios.

Well take it for what you will, Seat Guru is frequently inaccurate. It is good for getting the basic cabin configuration defined, but the color coding and comments range from accurate to laughable.

if OP can wait a week, I will provide a definitive answer since I have 6A for my redeye on Sun 26th

That's probably because there isn't a bulkhead between F and Y. But I'm sure the original poster appreciates the helpful response.

I don't see where igjordon's response was so offensive or out of line. But I do find igjordon's response fairly accurate as seatguru has IME become less reliable as of late, and defaults to say certain things about what it seems as similar seats (exit row, bulkhead, last row, etc), especially for new aircraft types or modifications where there's little feedback. And it's been a while since I've submitted any feedback but IIRC, they seem to be less responsive at taking feedback.

As an example: here's the China Airlines A330-300 I just flew on:
https://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Ch...330-300_V2.php
Notice in the last row of Business Class - "may have limited recline". But the seats are pod style seats with a hardback shell so the recline in Row 5 is in no way limited by the wall behind.

+1 on checking Delta.com. Doublecheck the seatmaps there and seatguru. If there's closet/galley/lav behind the seat then no recline. If its right to seats then it should be full.

Yes it is and very much so. I've sat in that row too many times on MCO-ATL.

Thanks so much. Really appreciate it. Definitely can wait. [I'm pretty sure they don't recline, but your first hand experience will be very helpful.]
