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).

Slimline version
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).

Also depending on flight load, you may have a chance to get empty row and be able to lay down farther back (armrests in row 7 do not raise).
However, that will be something you have to watch in a few months, when ORD-KEF is closer to starting service, if that actually happens.

The armrests could be a potential issue since I am traveling with my partner. Any suggestions on other seats in economy+ that would be better? Seats 8A and 8B are currently occupied.

Do you need leg-space, do you want movable airm rests, do you need under-seat storage, do you need to get out without other people having to move, want a window seat, prefer to closer to the front or exit, best chance of adjacent empty seat, .... so you need to provide an outline of what you consider a good seat.

I always take the aisle seat on exit row 21. If you want to sleep, you want to take a window seat on non-exit rows because exit-row window is very cold. Also, avoid rows 12 and 20.

Hi all, flying on the 757 on ewr-lax for the first time in years now and just wanted to check that 8F is the best seat I can pick in this layout? I read the wiki, and it seems like this is good, but I'm just making sure I'm not missing out on any other seat with better legroom? 6 hours is 6 hours so definitely want the most spacey seat there is. Thanks!

Anyone seen a 757 seatmap with middle seats not bookable in rows 29.32,36? Not filled left blank on the seatmap. Could these be great seats if they open up or something to avoid like reserved for an emotional support animal or something unusual? Ive never seen this. Its a 757-200
