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
BUSINESS CLASS
Standard Business suites with 180 lie-flat seats and AVOD. AC power and USB ports are available.
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.
ECONOMY CLASS
Row 20 (exit row bulkhead) is E-, not E+.
No longer in service, the standard domestic F (non-lie flat ) 757-200
For the other 752 aircraft, (now retired) see Everything You Want to Know About Where to Sit on an International 757-200 (16 BF)

I have gotten 14A on 757s a few times; they always reclined. I could tell that the recline angle is limited, but the difference is small.

Nice work, C!
A couple things to add, if memory serves -
757 regular config, E+ row 13 has no window.
763 3-class - the F seats are comfy enough, but I wouldn't
say that they went particularly close to flat.
763 2-class - as I am much shorter than you, I don't find
row 1 too bad; but you might point out that the appointments
on this equipment tend to be pretty darn ratty - that bulkhead
monitor didn't work properly last time I flew on one, the seats
were threadbare, and if I had a footrest, it didn't work (I find
that 767 footrests in general tend not to work).
Cheers

Great work! They should make this sticky.
Looks like I got lucky getting 24B on IAD-ZRH. Won't have to upgrade ... unless I get lucky and EasyChicken offers me the chance for C.
Looks like I didn't pick any bad seats in F for my trip to Hawaii, as I'm on most of those planes you mentioned. We took middle row 3 in F on LAX-HNL on the 763.

Is there such a thread for domestic 777's?
SEA_Tigger - Great work. very meticuluous and quality info.
Does anyone recall seeing a similar thread for seating in Y on the domestic 777's?
I will be flying one such in a month (SFO-ORD-DTW vv). The 2-5-2 seating in Y on 777s looks ugly.

Excellent Post
Quick question. The first 757 you listed had first rows 1-6 andE+ starting at 8. Is there no row 7 on this plane?
Just math challenged and curious.

I was in 6c (752) SEA-LAX last night and I could not get the seat to recline at all. Not sure whether it was a malfunctioning seat or it just doesn't recline. I don't ever remember being in row 6 before (I usually try for row 3 or 4) so don't know whether last night was an anamoly.

Mainline 757-200 seats 8D and 8E are not wider
Mainline 757-200 seats 8D and 8E are no wider than 9C - I "measured" them with my arm today.
They all go from my left elbow to the first joint of my left pinky. (Hey, isn't that almost a cubit?)
Except for maybe 8E - if anything it's a bit narrower than 8D and 9C, maybe 1/2 an inch or so. Maybe they "feel" wider because you always have a side open, and there's no overhead storage for them?

Oh well, whatever the reason, they're still my favorites!

757 PS C seating info
Seat and window info for C on 757 PS:
Row 5 - Didn't check
Row 6 - window/no wing
Row 7 - 1 window/partial wing
Row 8 - 2 windows/partial wing
Row 9 - 2 windows/partial wing
Row 10/11 had windows, and I think they're slightly behind the wing; so partial view looking forward.
The only negative I can see about row 11 is the coach bulkhead wall is immediately behind you, creating an illusion of less room.

Don't sit in row 7 if you like to look out the window.

Just flew two p.s. flights.
Business class in my opinion is more spacious than First Class. Given the seats are better in First, business class has a roomier feel especially if you row 9. The exit row space plus the size of the business class cabin definitely makes it feel like a private jet. First class seats are bulky and are cramped into the front of the cabin.
Don't worry about storage space in front of you when seated in row 9). Besides take off and landing, you can have as many bags out in front of you as you like!
