A346. :-:

Blatantly false.

AVOD is free on the 752, FYI. They also don't have Koito seats (fortunately).

luv it! ^

Keep in mind these were the replacement planes to the 727 yet Boeing didn't realize how over powered they were and the work horse they could become for airlines given range and capability from small runways.

I think given a proper overhaul to avod, wifi, overhead bins, galley vs lav placement with new seats in all Classes including lie flat up front these have many more years of flying enjoyment. If I were creating an airline this is my bird of choice especially long hauls.

PMCO 752s have free AVOD on Domestic and International flights. I haven't flown on a PMCO 753 in a long while so I cannot comment/defend it in any way. I do have to say for short jumps (EWR-UK & coastal Europe) 752 jets are a great craft in both J & Y.

I agree with most of the other posters. I love the large F cabin, the separate boarding where economy turns right and F turns left and the number of "good" seats when not upgraded.

Have you been on AA's? Those seem pretty dingy to me.

A330s as operated by Hawaiian Airlines (others?) have 40+ rows, and only 3 of them are FC.

Coming soon? Very soon?

I guess this just may be a matter of personal preference. If I don't get the UG, I may be one of the few who's willing to pay $5.99* for DTV for long haul flights...much rather have news and sports than the cartoon movie on my recent UA flight. :rolleyes:

Besides, don't you carry your laptop as a back-up anyway just in case there's a....cartoon movie :)

Wouldn't argue with you here...but can't say I've experienced a noticeable difference in UA Y seats.

Before I was elite, I hated 757s, because it takes forever to get to the back, and even longer to get off again.

Now I'm elite... hey, there's good seats in E+, and with 24 first class seats I remain hopeful that one of these days I'm gonna get a UDU...

First is always great, coach sucks with the 31 inch seat pitch. I could not imagine flying coach for more than 4 hours unless the middle seat was free, or in the exit row.

Biggest drawback could be for those of us who travel with young kids: no changing tables in the lavatories. Changing a kid in there is like trying to corral a buttered pig in a closet. I have no idea how a plane that size wasn't designed with fold-down changing tables!

And I'm my opinion the CO 757s are in much better shape thn the UA 757s.

The 753s still have the drop down monitors every few rows.

Unless of course your 757 flight happens to depart from a gate where 1L is used for boarding thn all the Y class pax will come hurdling thru the F cabin.

Lav design is only partially based on the aircraft type and more based on what the carrier decided to buy. Having a changing table or not is very much a function of the latter.
And will eventually be getting the LiveTV kit.

Row 33! Takes a while to deplane but it's like the only exit row in the fleet I've been able to secure when booking only a week or two out

The LH A346 has one config with 37 rows of Y and 10 rows of C (angled flat seats). That's one long plane.

I really like the PMUA 757s. They are a bit worn, but I love the layout and large F cabin. If I can't get an upgrade, I can almost always get row 16 (now 21?) and a huge amount of legroom.
