United has reconfigured its 757-300 planes to increase density, primarily by adding non E+ seats (1 fewer E+ seats, 22 more E seats).


New Configuration
Boeing 757-300 (753)
24F 54E+ 156E


Post 165 assesses Seats 7DE (and 8ABC) (summary - watch out)
The armrest between 23 B/C and D/E is movable.
The inboard armrest on 23A & F is fixed and contains the tray table.

Does 8F have space to reach the aisle by going in front of 7DE, or would you need to to ask the others on the row to get up for aisle access?

While you don't have to have 8DE to get up, practically speaking, unless you're a stick person, you'll be interacting with the legs of 7DE if you come around that way.

Row 21 - Seat Back or Armrest Tray Tables?

I haven’t flown the 753 in a while and can’t find pictures/videos or other reliable information on whether the tray tables for row 21 are located in the seats in front of you or in the armrest. Can anyone confirm?

Seems like folks have an issue with no overhead storage on 7D/7E.. I try to be among last on the plane so how is this handled? Any chance to put it in F cabin rather than who knows how far back in Y?

PS: Does 757-300 still not have WiFi while over the ocean on flights between HNL and SFO?

23F is my go to on that craft (and flight). Way too much traffic and activity for me in row 7.

It's almost a toss-up. There is lav traffic (bad) near 7E, but it's far more bothersome for 7ABC. After 5+ hours in E+, I want off ASAP and it is closer to lav (good). FAs do not hang around mid-cabin galley - they just get carts in and out of it mostly at beginning and end of flight. 23F has less traffic and less hassle for overhead space. Pre-order should eliminate risk of not getting BoB choice back there, but mis-cater can occur and small chance FA gives away your pre-order by mistake. And half the plane gets off before 23F does.
