Seating

Hello,
I had a question, on Sunday I will be flying on a United Boeing 757 in First Class and I was wondering if you could tell me the best seat you have gotten on that aircraft. I am currently in seat 1C, although like seats 1B D it does not have the cutout. I'm only 5'3" (13 years old), so I don't need A LOT of legroom, but I don't know if it will be too little. I DONT WANT ANYTHING LESS THAT ECONOMY OF COURSE! haha, but anyways, your help would be GREATLY APPRICIATED.
Thnx,
Kidell P.

You might get better advice if you ask in the United forum instead of the general Star Alliance one.

We prefer Row 5 for access. Row 6 doesn't fully recline (especially if people hang their coats).

I would avoid any seat in Row 1 because of the legroom.

If you don't need legroom, then I suppose 5'3" is short enough, then 1C may be tolerable. I sat in 1D from ANC-ORD and my legs needed straightening out every so often. You can at least stick your legs out into the aisle from 1C.
