2A seems to be a preferred choice in First.
1A doesn't have a cutout so might not be as good for tall people & seems to be colder.
7C/D seems to be preferred choice for E+. Often blocked until T24, but then seem to be available.
7A/B also good, although 7B may get bumped during boarding because it's exposed to passengers as the aisle shifts to the center between the F and Y cabins.
All row 7 seats have ample legroom before the F cabin. There is no bulkhead; just a half-curtain.
United Becomes First Airline to Add New, Larger Overhead Bins to Embraer E175 Aircraft

New bins will be available on 50 aircraft by the end of this year and can accommodate up to 29 more bags per flight, helping make room for everyone's carry-on
CHICAGO, March 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- United Airlines announced today that it is installing new, larger overhead bins on its Skywest operated Embraer E175 fleet that will provide more room for passengers' roll aboard carry-on bags. These new bins will be available on 50 aircraft with a 76-seat configuration by the end of this year. United may expand the E175 larger overhead bins offering to more than 150 aircraft by the end of 2026.
United is the first airline to offer these larger overhead bins on E175 airplanes and estimates this move will nearly eliminate the need for one million annual passengers to gate-check bags on more than 150,000 E175 flights.
United is enhancing the passenger experience by adding larger overhead bins on the Embraer E175 fleet to increase customer convenience and improve operational efficiency. The new bins will accommodate up to an extra 29 carry-on bags on the regional jets, which is an 80 percent increase in space.
"Customer sentiment for the new overhead bins and signature interiors has been extremely positive. By helping to eliminate the need to gate check bags, we are seeing an increase in gate and boarding satisfaction," said Linda Jojo, United's chief customer officer. "This is just the latest way we're working to create an industry-leading experience for all our customers – whether they're on an international or regional flight."
United now has more than 200 mainline aircraft outfitted with bins large enough to fit every passenger's carry-on bag and is in the process of retrofitting its domestic narrowbody fleet. The new overhead bins in the regional fleet will provide a seamless connecting experience for customers. Every E175 aircraft outfitted with these overhead bins will also have braille and tactile placards that enhance accessibility, part of a larger initiative the airline announced in 2023.
United Airlines and United Express operate an average of more than 4,000 flights a day to over 350 airports across 6 continents. SkyWest is the world's largest E175 operator and flies more than 700 daily departures to more than 140 destinations as United Express. In 2023, United became the world's largest carrier as measured by seat-miles, carrying more than 150 million passengers.

OK thats what I thought. I was just surprised to see 2A listed as preferred but not 3 or 4. At first I thought that perhaps 4A had limited recline, but I do not recall that and that wouldn't explain 3A.

One consideration for 2A is the chance of equipment downgrade EMB 175 to 170. Because the 170 has 6 first class seats, vs. 12 on the 175, those who are booked in rows 3 and 4 are downgraded. Not a common change but it has happened to me.

That can be good depending on when the swap is made. Assuming the policy hasnt changed, a $200 ECT for having to sit in the back for a (hopefully) short flight is not bad.

I don't think it's quite so straightforward any longer. I had a flight swap from 739 to 319, and I got moved from row 4 up to row 2 while others got downgraded.

E-175 overhead bins on the left side of First?
Does the E-175 have any overhead bins on the left side of First?
I can't remember which aircraft has the small bins, and which have no bins at all. Whether I can get a small bin makes a difference in my boarding strategy.

Yes, but the ones on the left side are very small. May be able to fit a small back pack or purse, not a "carry-on sized" suit case. Was on one yesterday, and offered to move my bag from the bigger overhead so someone could use it for their carry-on suit case. Boarding last is risky when it comes to overhead space on this plane.

Agreed. My biggest complaint is not having any under-seat storage when in 1A/C/D

Your Favorite E175 F seat
I always choice 2A when flying solo, it has under seat storage in front of it. I think the single window/aisle F seats on a E175 are just great for domestic short and medium haul travel.

2A, 3A, or 4A for me. I avoid 1A because the jet bridge curtains have scratched the hell out of those windows and made many useless to look out of.
