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).

SFO-OGG seems to have several different planes. I'm on the 757-200 which has the lie-flats (I intentionally searched for and booked flights on that equipment). The schedule seems to change a lot from day to day (it's not the same equipment at the same time every day)
I'm hoping I don't get screwed by an equipment change. Or at least, if I do, I'll be able to reschedule on the right equipment. Even with P fares (which I booked), I don't think it's worth it for regular recliners.

The redeye has been seen the 738 of late. A spotcheck of the schedule shows this continuing into spring break.

1A or 4F
Fairly infrequent flyer, but will be taking the IAD-LHR daytime flight in C and can only choose between 1A and 4F. I usually like to get up several times during the flight and so was wondering if the extra space in row 1 makes it easier at all to climb over the passenger in the aisle seat, or if the shorter seat length actually has the opposite effect?
Also, for meal choices, to the FA's go from front to back (or back to front)?

If done right, status (GS then 1Ks) and then front to back

I don't like sitting in row 7 during boarding. Depending on the route, in flight you may also get people loitering in front of you. But there is unlimited legroom, and getting out is obviously easy.

I'm an aisle person so, even if I had a choice between Row 7 or Row 21, I would always pick Row 21 as there's less traffic.
Actually, I did not see earlier that you are traveling as a couple. On that flight from EDI, I was traveling with my wife and she took 21C.

I have done EDI-EWR in seat 21D. The legroom is good but I still stood up to let the window passenger out when she needed to visit the toilet.

I have noticed on Seat Guru some comments about the aisle seats in row 21 having electronic equipment under the seat in front of them compromising legroom a bit. Any thoughts? Again, we are a couple so it's either window-middle in row 21 or middle-aisle in row 21. Any advice on what to snag would be great. It's a day flight.

Appears that there is a second version now of the 16J configuration, leaving 2 pairs of seats in row 21 and no seat in front of 22A/22F. Anyone have experience with these? Why are these not marked as economy plus?
