This versions is retired from the flett, United has two one versions of 752's with lie-flat seats. This version flies domestic routes. principally premium transcontinental service (p.t.s aka PS) and some hub-to-hub.
Boeing 757-200 p.s. (Premium Service) Configuration

The bulkhead seats are in Rows 1 and 5 and have wider footwells. Regarding these seats, note the following:
Seats 1 A/B and 5 A/B are subject to noise and light from the galleys and may not be a good choice for redeye flights.
Seats 1E/F and 5E/F have wide footwells and are separated from the galley.
Seat 1B (&5B?) has the deepest footwell but a direct view into the gallery.
Seats 1 E/F (&5E/F?) have about 1" less legroom than the other bulkhead seats with a bed length of about 5' 10".
The snack basket is often placed on the shelf in front of 1A/B and 5A/B.
All other seats have narrow footwells, especially the window seats. They have bed length of about 6'1".
ECONOMY PLUS / EXIT ROW SEATS
Row 21 (exit row) has the most leg space. The rest of E+ is pretty much the same.

Row 20 (exit row bulkhead) is E-, not E+.
No longer in service, the standard domestic F (non-lie flat ) 757-200

BTW why didn't you open a thread "Everything You Want to Know About 737"?
One of our Feb. flight BOS-ORD will be 737 and I have 4A/C.

CRJ better than 737?

Everyone likes CRJ too?

The CRJ and CRJ700 are different aircraft. The CRJ700 is the better one.

When the CRJ-700s entered service, everyone wanted to know what they were like and where to sit on them (since they were the first RJs to have First Class and, later, Economy Plus).
Then UA started changing the Airbus configs, moving Row 1 and Row 6 about.
Then people started asking about the 747.
Then UA launched p.s. on the 757.
Then they launched the Embraer 170.
You get the picture.

Well, I've got a question about the 733. I've got 3F booked on an ORD-DCA flight. I'm not a regular UA flyer so not familiar with all the ins and outs of their aircraft. Is it any good?

FWIW, it is the first row of coach, and thus bulkhead. Most 737's have a cutout between F & Y and row 3 will allow you more legroom.

As a crew member I can tell you that rows 8,9,15 and 16 are exit rows on the 757 and you do have to be "of age" to sit there.. while the computer (or an unwitting gate agent) might technically assign it to you, we are required to move you and the door of the aircraft cannot be closed until seat reassignments are made. You will not get a comp upgrade to first class for this. We would most likely ask the psgrs in 10d and 10e to switch with you.

Hey, great advise. Am flying mainline 752 SFO-ORD in March after a flight from SYD, so it will be during the day. Leaning towards 8D&E.
One question though, is it easy to see TV screens from row 8, or would we be better off in row 16?
Any advise to a newbie, much appreciated... ^

The extra comfort for upgrading from Y to C on the eastbound p.s. red-eyes is absolutely worth it! I can personally attest to my 5 hours of (ambien-assisted) sleep last week LAX-JFK.
