Seat map (24Domestic F seats/55E+/134E configuration)
Entertainment -- now 100% personal device entertainment (DirecTV has been removed)
WiFi (Internet access for a fee)

1A/B has a great cutout for extra foot space, 1E/F has no cutout and may be tight for taller passengers.

This link Interim 757-300 seat map shows a strange interim seat map that you might want to consult if the one(s) above do not match what you are seeing on United.bomb.
See the bottom of the Wiki there for warnings about seat selection.

Row 33 windows
Does anyone have experience or pics of row 33. I have a friend traveling with me with no status. Currently in a regular economy aisle seat, but now United doesn't charge for 33A or F. I'm guessing there's reason. She's a skinny female about 5'8" for size if that matters in term of space.

Thoughts on exit row aisle (eg. 7C) vs First Class?
Debating if I want to pay a little more for first class. Not a red-eye (otherwise probably would), but still last flight of the evening (IAD-SFO).

Other than that 7C is fairly unremarkable vs a domestic config 752 (both have similar width, recline, and have a front row seat to the lavatory waiting area).

SeatGuru says seat 1A is a very good seat, can someone confirm this? I have 1A selected right now for a flight from DEN-LAX, but can change it if there is a better F seat. Thanks in advance!

If it is truly a 753 and not a 752, then yes, it's a good seat with a LOT of legroom. Domestic/non-lie flat 752s will have restricted legroom in that row.

1AB each have cavernous storage under the closet that forms the bulkhead. Easily the best storage in front of any seat in the United fleet.

Thanks for the replies! It is indeed a 753. I will keep the seat! Can't wait for a F seat with actual good legroom in the first row.

I don't have pictures of the 757 specifically, but the door slide bulges on it are sizable and block the leg room of 33 A/F. This image shoes an A320 door slide (which is of approximate size since height of aircraft is the biggest factor in slide size). Personally I wouldn't bother with it, especially if something further forward is available, the back section has always felt mildly claustrophobic to me (in addition to getting to watch 3 restrooms for an entire flight)

Hello everyone. I'm curious, on the no DirecTV Boeing 757-300's, I know that there is PDE, but do the Overhead screens come down to show the safety video and flight map or a film?
I know that they still have the overhead screens there, (as I've seen them in the up & stowed position in a recent photo) but do they use them anymore or are they never brought down? I don't have PDE compatable devices, so I'm curious.
Thanks.

Workable devices for PDE can be purchase for under $50 (and lower). Amazon Fire devices can be side loaded to work also.

How badly does the door slide block legroom on 7A?

Blanket lumbar support trick for 753 seats
I seem to find my way onto 753s fairly often. The seats are reasonably comfortable, but adjust mechanically -- you may have to tug on things (firmly but gently, like an old Barcalounger).
The lumbar adjust is a small lever (hip level between the setback cushion and the arm-rest frame), but neither setting seems to work for me when reclining. (Yes, I'm one of *those* people who sleep on planes.
) I used to use a United pillow, but those have become rare. However, a United blanket also seems to do the trick: unfold it once (to form a rectangle), and place cross-wise on the seat. This also seems to work well when sitting semi-upright and working. Cheers! :-)

IFE on a 753 LAX > HNL
Flying this route on a 1pm flight in first soon. I understand it will have either DirecTV in seat or personal device entertainment.
If personal device, will that be functional the whole way across the ocean? Don't those depend on WiFi?
If it's DirecTV, will there at least be movies available over the ocean?
Trying to figure out if I should download a couple movies to my iPad, or rely on IFE.
