The extra OW exit pair will probably just be plugged and covered with a sidewall panel so the seating configuration is consistent with the rest of the 319 fleet.

The first exit on easyJet could be plugged to match UA's configuration. If you look closely at easyJet and UA 319s the overwing windows are in the same position with additional room around the window that's an exit on easy Jet. UA would just plug the first exit.
easyJet units have an extra window aft as there are seats right in front of the exits vs. UA's configuration. UA could plug or just pull the window shade down. I would guess UA would leave both lavs at the back of the aircraft and put 2 galley units just ahead of the back doors. Configurations weren't changed when China southern 319s joined the fleet.
I just hope the induction could be streamlined vs. China Southern's, which have run from 3 to 5 months.

Do we have a seat map for 7M9?

Will the last row of FC still not be able to recline?

Seatmap for 7M9 is available on UA.com. 739 Version 3. Not sure there is any way to tell the recline until it’s in service.

had to search for seats maps on UA - never looked at that page before - always relied on seatguru - learn something new every day

That being said the last row appears to be up against the bathroom and what appears to be a partition - same as version 1 and 2, so not much hope for row 5 recline

The 2 lavs in the back will be moved forward of 2L/2R and a galley will be placed at the area where the lavs currently are. Configuration will be the same as the current A319s in the fleet 8/120.

The new first class seats require much less space in order to recline (because the seat pan moves forward) so they will likely recline more than today if not fully.

Looks like the engine specs for this aircraft are not accurate - shouldn't this have LEAP engine details, or can the old CFM engines work on the MAX?

That being said, website is very much confused as to what the different classes are upfront as well as what the airplane consists of (no nose and tail for now):




Hope it works!

Under the Mainline Config/upgrade Progress section of the fleet website, the 757B all have Scimitars, but the chart still has one listed as outstanding.
