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).

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).

Thanks! I have been stuck on 777 HD aircraft quite a bit recently on ps flights (2-4-2 config) and find the personal space unacceptably small. No storage for anything. But the pmCO 757 I have been on have somewhat of a divider and a space behind your shoulder to put small items. Does the pmUA ps seat have such a storage area? I know the 777 seats do not.

The only difference is the sUA seats have a more advanced entertainment system. Not sure if it's just software or if there's upgraded hardware in there as well.

Blocked seats on intl 757
Hello,
I am flying from the US to Europe this weekend on a 757 intl version. I am in 8F. 8D and 8E on ExpertFlyer show as blocked right now. Sure enough the UA seat map on their website shows the seats as occupied.
But obviously no passenger has been assigned to those seats yet. I just want to know what the odds are that those seats don't end up being occupied by someone. The flight looks rather empty (about 40-50% full), and intl flights usually aren't booked last minute, and I usually don't see more than three people or so on standby for this particular flight in my previous experiences.
Anyone know why these seats would be blocked, and what the odds are I get two seats next to me free?
Thanks a ton in advance.
ETA: 21E&F show as blocked on ExpertFlyer, but I can select those seats on the UA app if I want to. 8E&F are not able to be selected on the app or website. Not sure what that's about.

8DE are often reserved for disabled persons up until T-24, but I've never seen them go out empty.

How is Row 4 positioned on both sides relative to the lav at 2L? Which of 4A or 4F has less disturbance from being close to the lav?

In general, I find row 4 to be quieter and more private than 1-3. It's not just the lavatories... it's the hustle and bustle of the food prep area for first class. Even with the lav and catering area for Y directly behind, I still find row 4 better than the others. I would always choose row 4 when possible.

Correct, 4E is a horrible seat on the 28J 752. 4F is a decent seat on both aircraft.
