United has two versions of 752's with lie flat seats. This version flies internationaly trans-Atlantic flights from the east coast, especially to closer cities in Ireland/Great Britain, premium transcontinental service (p.t.s. or aka PS), some Hawaii flights and occasional hub to hub flights. There are 16 BF seats, 45 E+ seats, and 108 E seats.
16/153 75b https://www.aerolopa.com/ua-boeing-75b
--- FIRST
Row 1 has wider footwells but 3" shorter bed length.
Seats 1E/1F may be slightly darker and quieter than 1A/1B, which are more susceptible to galley lights and noise.
--- ECONOMY
All economy seats share power (2 outlets per 3 seats), and have VOD screens in the seat back.
Exit row seats are Row 7ABC, Row 20, and Row 21. Row 20 seats have limited recline. Row 7ABC has "unlimited" leg room, although there's an FA jumpseat facing those seats (probably out of reach of anyone but the tallest person).
Row 8DEF are bassinet seats and also a bulkhead. There is an additional ~6" cut out at the bottom of the bulkhead for extra leg room.
Row 10A and F and 11A and F are missing a window (you get one next to the seat, but not towards the seat back of the row ahead).

16/160 75s https://www.aerolopa.com/ua-boeing-75s
-- ECONOMY
Exit row seats are Row 7, Row 20, Row 21, and Row 22. Seats 22A and 22F have "unlimited" leg room. Entertainment screen is housed in arm rest. Row 22BC and 22DE have about the same leg room as an E+ seat. These seats do recline.
Row 10A and F and 11A and F are missing a window (you get one next to the seat, but not towards the seat back of the row ahead).

If you are in 8F (window bulkhead) is there enough room at all to step over/around the people in 8E and 8D or do they have to get up for you to get out? Read some conflicting comments about this row and was wondering if anyone had the definitive answer...Thanks in advance

IIRC there is nothing to hold on to and you have to step over TWO bodies that may be covered by blankets.

As mentioned you may have to step over some outstretched feet -- but 8DEF with extra leg space and no seats reclining back, it is very possible to get out without 8D/E needing to get up. 7ABC is even easier.

Hi all,
Long time lurker, first time poster.
I'm booked into Seat 7A heading LAX-OGG in November. My only concern is that the lav is so close, and another site listed row 7ABC as being problematic due to the proximity of the lavs. Do the lavs open towards Row 7, or along the center aisle of the plane? That would be my concern, having the lavs open right on top of me. I've searched for photos of this section of the interiors of United 757s, but so far no luck.
Any other issues with 7A? Premium Economy has fast filled up on this flight, so there aren't many other choices, and certainly no aisle seats so I took what I could get. Many thanks for any pointers, and especially links to photos of this seat and lav area.
Thank you!
Bob

With 7A, you have a good view of the galley and the aircraft door bump (for the emergency slide) slightly impacts your leg space. And some at times feel it is a bit colder sitting next to the exit.
But you have easy exit from your seat without bothering 7B/C and good leg space. No under the seat in front of you storage.

toward the aisle. -- as they all do on single aisle aircraft.
Thanks. I just wanted to be certain as the seating diagram on Seat Guru (https://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Un...7-200_Flat.php) show the lavs as split laterally, potentially facing Row 7, the male lav closer to the centerline with the female lav to it's left. The seat map on United.com just shows the area as used for lavs, not their precise orientation. I had thought their entrances were almost certainly on the centerline but the Seat Guru image had me wondering.
No a problem unless you are usually sensitive.
Nah, better left unsaid!

I know. That was something that confused me. When I saw that I said, "Huh?" I've been flying for nearly fifty years, on everything from props to DC-10s, and I'd never seen that before.

Have a bit of a dilemma and I would appreciate some feedback...
Wife and I along with our 1 year old (infant lap child for this flight) are flying IAD-MAD next week. We currently have seats 4A/4B (mixed reviews as per seat guru). However, we are contemplating the use of the plane's bassinet in the first row. 1A is currently available and so is 1E (across the aisle). I'm sure we'd be able to switch around so that we have 1A/1B. But, those seats are bulk head and no guarantee that the baby will stay in the bassinet during the overnight.
I guess the ultimate question is if first row preferrable to last row in J?
Plane is a 757-200.

Sadly, some FAs like to chat during flight, so that and light from galley could be a problem in first row
Reason I always travel with eyeshade and earplugs - even though I hate to use either.

guarantee that the baby will stay in the bassinet but in row 1 you will at least have that option.

I have a choice between pmCo and pmUA ps flights with 757. Is the Co aircraft better? I know that UA J seats have very little storage or personal space. But I recall the Co aircraft are a bit better. Is that correct?

I fly each often (EWR-LAX). As far as I can tell the J seats are identical. I prefer the pmUA aircraft as the layout was created specifically for ps. Also, the lavatory ratio is better (2 lavs for 28 vs 1 lav for 16). But the experience between the two is about the same in my opinion.
