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.

Day, Date Flight Class Departure City and Time Arrival City and Time Aircraft Meal
Wed, 22JAN14 UA1298 G WASHINGTON, DC
(IAD - DULLES) 8:40 AM LOS ANGELES, CA
(LAX) 11:22 AM 757-300
One miserable acft. No e+ No AVOD, miserable CO crew. AVOID at all cost. They dump the early arriving Middle East and Brazil flight pax on this one to LAX. Poor people. I just got rebooked on it due to WX at IAD on the 22nd. If this is an example of their pre merger product CO was one miserable airline.

Aircraft: Boeing 757-300 aircraft #3862
There's currently only one non-exit-row E+ seat available and it's seat 11E. 3862 is one of the old TZ 757-300s with overhead video and no power.
BTW, how is this aircraft that much different in E+ from the well-loved pmUA domestic 752?

I didn't see anything about this earlier so sorry if it was posted earlier, but do the seats in rows 16-19 have power, and are they the only E- seats that do? (i.e. do rows 22-41 not have power?)

i avoid row 21 because the seat padding is incredibly thin.
i don't usually notice exit row padding being thinner, but it's miserable in the 753.
i usually pick row 10 in the 752 because it's far enough away from the lav and you get two full windows. not sure if that's the case with the 753, but if i had to pick a 753 E+ seat it would be in row 9 or 10.

Answering my question
7ABC -- main exit, lots of eg space, DirecTV in arm rests, galley close by
8DEF traditional bulkhead -- OK legspace but not too different from rest of E+, no cutouts -- galley (entrance) is to the side row 7 and not an issue for 8DEF
both have fixed arm rests and narrow seat width -- guessing just under 17 inches with fixed arm rests (and Row 21 is likely the same)

Anyone noticed the 757-300 that doesn't have PTV and still have the drop down LCD screen uses a two prong plug for headset ?
Last Saturday I flew on one and was quite surprised the headset in the seat back pocket is a one prong plug, but the seat itself use two prongs, fortunately I always carried a few of those PMCO earbuds as back up, and you know those PMCO earbuds always come with an adapter, while the headset provided with UA have no adapter whatsoever, so I see my neighbors plug in the UA headset into the two prong plugs of course it wouldn't work at all. If I remembered, some of those PMCO 738 that still have no DirecTV and use drop down LCD screens also use has the two prong plugs as well.
I wonder if UA even realize that at all, basically no adapters means no entertainment ! I did write it down in the comments when I sent in the survey that I received yesterday.

Each plug in the two-prong setup is a single mono channel. So if the single plug headphones "wouldn't work at all," there was something more substantial wrong with the equipment.

9 have DirecTV
3 have streaming sat Wifi
9 have overhead displays (and one of those has sat WiFi)
No need for the headset adapter, just plug your headset into either one when confronted with a dual plug outlet.

If a single plug headphone would work on a two prong seat, then PMCO wouldn't even bother to spend extra money to include an adapter inside those old earbuds bag.
I had tried this myself in the past, if my headset is one prong plug into a two prong plug, it just would be really loose and won't attach to the plug itself, not to mention no sound at all.

pmCO 753 or old ATA 753?
Flying BOS-SFO-KOA, KOA-LAX, LAX-IAH-BOS on the 18th, 24th, and 27th respectively. UA1758 BOS-SFO and UA1205 KOA-LAX are operated by 753's. How to know if they're the newer pmCO ones or the really tired ATA birds? Just asking for flight logging purposes.

Do you need to know in advance?
You can always cross-reference the ship number to the fleet list site: https://sites.google.com/site/united...fleet-tracking. I believe aircraft 60-71 are the ATA planes while 51-59 are the CO deliveries.
