All UA A319s have have been converted to 12F configuration

FIRST CLASS CABIN
All A319s have the 'new' UA first class seat. There are 12 first class seats on the A319. Stated pitch is 37" and the width is 21”. The seat recline on the A319 is quite generous, with the caveat that if the person in front of you is fully reclined, it is difficult to get out of the aisle seat and exiting the window seat will require the aisle seat to step into the aisle.

ECONOMY PLUS Section – ROWS 7-21
Row 7 is the best row. Like on the A320, Row 7 has plenty of room plus the bulkhead does not extend all the way down to the floor, allowing you to store bags and your feet under Row 2.

21BC and 21DE do have an extra inch or two of legroom to allow folks to get to the Window Exit, but it is not nearly as generous as Row 20 and Row 21 on the A320.

Rows 8-12 have 35" of legroom and 18" width.

ECONOMY CLASS Section – ROWS 22-35
Pitch is very tight at (30"), but at least the seats are wider then the 757.

IN FLIGHT ENTERTAINMENT
Wifi: Ku band wifi is installed on all A319s. Ku band wifi is the international wifi which enables internet access for the rare A319 trip outside of the lower 48.
Entertainment: Personal device entertainment is installed on all A319s. Make sure you have the latest United app loaded on your phone/tablet.
In-Seat Power: Installed in F and E+.


Other
There is a galley and lav at the front of the plane for First-class cabin.
There is a galley and two lavs at the rear of the plane for the economy cabin.

The exit row was spacious, and had a tray table, and was a great seat for the 3.5 hour trip.
I don't usually fly the 319 due to upgrade chances, but I will not hesitate to get on this plane again if I can confirm that seat.
Good to know since we are stuck with flying on that plane on an incoming trip and the chances of upgrade are 0. First booked 6/8 two weeks out. My wife and I have aisle seats on Row 21. The other planes flying to our destination two hours away were not any better and the connection times to them were not convenient anyways.

The shorter seat pan for the window and middle swat are very clear in that pic

Does anyone have a picture of row 7 on the slimmer A319? Trying to decide between row 7 or 21. Want as much leg room as possible

Are the overhead bins in J (Rows 1 and 2) big enough for a standard 20" roller-suitcase? Or will they force me to valet check it?

Thank you

Thank you
Yes, assuming you fit the UA sizer. They are same depth and height as the rest of the aircraft but there is less bin space for Row 1 on UA's A3xx -- part of the space (width) is used for the safety demonstration and other items. But generally, there is enough space for first class bags.

Do A320-series aircraft taper less at the nose, or is it just the extra width? My bag will have trouble fitting in the first bin on a UA 737 because the body is tapering so the bin is shorter, but I had no issue on a recent flight on an NK 321. Can't remember how it fits on UA Airbus as it's been a while since I've flown one.

I'm not quite sure how to conceptualise the taper vs the width, but there's no difference between row 1 and row 2 on UA's A3x.

The A320 is also a bit (a few inches I think?) winder than the 737 overall.

Without any research I think you're right about that, but I'm unsure how all that should be accounted. I guess I'd say it's both? The taper is less severe, and the width is wider, and ultimately the bins are uniformly sized.

7A, unconditionally. Unless you desperately need an aisle 7A and 7F are the best seats in Economy.
