This versions is retired from the flett, United has two one versions of 752's with lie-flat seats. This version flies domestic routes. principally premium transcontinental service (p.t.s aka PS) and some hub-to-hub.

Boeing 757-200 p.s. (Premium Service) Configuration
  • 28 seats in United Business with 180-degree flat-bed seats
  • 48 seats in Economy Plus with 36" pitch
  • 66 seats in United Economy
  • Complimentary in-seat audio video-on-demand entertainment
  • USB and standard 110v power outlets accessible from every seat
  • Gogo Wi-Fi

BUSINESS CLASS

Standard Business suites with 180 lie-flat seats and AVOD. AC power and USB ports are available.

The bulkhead seats are in Rows 1 and 5 and have wider footwells. Regarding these seats, note the following:

Seats 1 A/B and 5 A/B are subject to noise and light from the galleys and may not be a good choice for redeye flights.
Seats 1E/F and 5E/F have wide footwells and are separated from the galley.

Seat 1B (&5B?) has the deepest footwell but a direct view into the gallery.

Seats 1 E/F (&5E/F?) have about 1" less legroom than the other bulkhead seats with a bed length of about 5' 10".

The snack basket is often placed on the shelf in front of 1A/B and 5A/B.

All other seats have narrow footwells, especially the window seats. They have bed length of about 6'1".

ECONOMY PLUS / EXIT ROW SEATS
Row 21 (exit row) has the most leg space. The rest of E+ is pretty much the same.

ECONOMY CLASS
Row 20 (exit row bulkhead) is E-, not E+.


No longer in service, the standard domestic F (non-lie flat ) 757-200

2-Class 763

I just booked a full F from lax-ord-clt and on the LAX-ORD leg it's on a 763 2-class config. I havent flown a 767 series since the 762 in late 2000. Is F service on the 763 good on the lax-ord (UA940) route? How is the meal service? the seats? audio?

The food service is the same as any other flight. The seats are terrible, IMO. They are very old and noticably warn, and are also very narrow. Overall, not a very nice plane.

Hmmm... two class 767 is nothing special in terms of seating. It's a domestic F product through and through. No leg rests, but bigger seats. However, there are a lot of people up there (34 when full), so the service is affected.

I have not done that route in a while, so the meal service history is probably irrelevant. There will be a meal, though, and it should be decent. (I remember a really good Chef's Salad one time... but I was famished.)

Audio is the same as every other aircraft. It will have an old-school projector in the F cabin.

It may have Empower in the seats (all 767 F seats should), so long as things are operable.

It's not a bad ride.. nicer than the 757 (imho). Just strange how small the E+ section is on these planes.

Though they're only 1" wider than the Y seats, and the legroom is only 3" more than E+. After seeing that, I'm not so disappointed our SFO-KOA upgrades haven't gone through (we have 21HJ both ways, so we'll have more legroom than F).

I'll echo the thoughts of everyone else - the 2-class 763 is a total ghetto bird. They gotta do something about these planes. It's almost 2007 for cryin out loud, I should never have to watch a projected movie - even in Y.

I remember it being a tighter squeeze than normal, but this data certainly puts it in perspective! It's E++.

They are very similar. There is not really a single "standard" F seat, similar to how there are not any "standard" C seats. For example, the 777 C seat is wider than the 747 C seat, which is wider than the 767 C seat.

Not according to seatguru. However, they do say the 777 F suite is wider than the 744 F suite.

I fly the SFO/HNL route fairly regularly which is often served by 767. My opinion is that paying to upgrade on these flights is not worth it unless you have miles to burn. Obviously if you have extra 500 milers or CR1's then it is worth it. Otherwise, E+ is nearly as good and perfectly acceptable.

The 777 seems worthwhile, though.

Agreed. I am heading back home on Sunday on the 777 and upgraded.
