Got repeatedly booted (checked-in as 7F at -24H, upon boarding it shows different seat) to 8F or similar. Unrelated flights. Is there something special about 7F, why is this happening to me on 737-900?

If there's ever any issue with a plane that I'm on I always report it. Just mentioning it to the pilot or an FA is enough. It could be that something is broken on that particular plane and needs to be fixed.

I would say it's fine.. no Y seat on the 739 is good except maybe 21CD, but there's nothing horrible about it. You will have the hard bulkhead of the midlav ahead with no floor storage.

Anyone know which version of 737-900 this is? Doesn't match the images in the Wiki, or on seatguru. Was considering moving up to Economy Plus for this flight, but I don't want a dumb seat with no window or no recline or something.

Anyway, that is the interim map. It will turn into one of the configurations in the wiki nearer departure.
Rows 11 and 12 are the ones that might be missing windows. Row 20 (exit) has no recline. That said, seeing as you've chosen aisle + middle at present, perhaps the window isn't so important.

Hi Everyone --
Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere.
Flying the 737-900 FLL - SFO tomorrow on UA922. Currently in 7D. When I look at the flight status, 7E looks to be occupied. But when I try to change my seat, I am able to select it no problem. Any idea what's happening here? What're the chances that the seat will be unoccupied tomorrow?
Thanks so much!

Without looking through 46 pages, we're currently in 3EF SFO-LAX, but 1EF is still available. I like the idea of not being reclined into, but how is the legroom in 1EF? I'm 6'2" tall. Note that we did 2EF EWR-ORD before and I don't remember it being too bad, so I'm expecting 3EF to be the same.

If you're curious, I think SFO-LAX is a nice short flight to check it out.
