How does UA come up with 17x10x9?
I thought a luggage would be safe as underseat-eligible, as long as it was within 18" x 14" x 8".
Then I saw that UA's max is 17" x 10" x 9"! I assume 10" is the width, but I cannot think of any economy seat on any aircraft where the underseat leg room width is 10".
Are there UA seats with underseat width that narrow? If not, in reality what can I safely assume to be the narrowest underseat width on any UA aircraft?
Thinking about buying a 16" x 14" x 8" bag and I want to make sure I won't have any issues sitting in an aisle seat with it.

Hey all, my first max flight for 5+ hour flight so seat is paramount on this one. Which seat has the best legroom + recline? Would that be exit row 21 or row 7? or something else. Row 7 looked nice from what I saw but wasn't sure if that was the best or there was something better. Thanks!

Row 21 is fine for legs.

Gotcha thanks! And I'll likely be at the window, so can one easily get up and not make others get up at row 7? And row 21 for that matter? I know some of the bulkheads on other planes I've been able to do that but just want to be sure. I was recently diagnosed with thrombophlebitis so I want to keep moving around every now and then as best I can without making people get up. Thanks again for the info.

Ok gotcha thanks very much for that info, that's good to know. I would 100% take an aisle but this isn't just a work flight for me. I bought my very very old grandmother a ticket on the same flight to visit some relatives on the other coast so I absolutely want to give her the aisle over myself. Ideally a C and a D seat would be great for both but on the day that I'm flying, all aisles are already taken except for the D seat I've chosen for my grandmother and the F seat I've put myself in.

Does anyone recall if 1B has the small foot cutout on the 737-900? I tried searching, but there seems to be some conflicting (possibly outdated) information regarding 1B.

Can you see how many rows of E+ there are? Also, how far out is the flight? Sometimes they have placeholder seat maps if it is a long ways out. I always try to book in the first few rows of E+ on this type or on the right side to avoid the missing window issues.

There is no Row 12.
Flight is in just under a month away.
