UNITED AIRLINES ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW - BOEING 757-200

I flew with a refurbished United economy cabin. Although the aircraft is technically old (B757), but the cabin interior is exceptionally good (far better compared to the unrefurbished United). For a short flight to LAX from SFO it was more than enough to have a refurbished and well-reclinable seat, a personal IFE screen, and a cup of coke.

UA117 from Hong Kong to Singapore. Plane is tiny and cramped. No Economy Plus, full plane. I am average height and still my knees bumped against the seat in front of me & was painful when the person in front reclined. Width was very bad too: I kept on having to pinch my legs together to avoid resting on the legs of the people next to me. This was just an awful experience.

UNITED AIRLINES BOEING 747 ECONOMY PLUS SEAT REVIEW - 11 July 2011 by Scott Rader (USA)

Economy plus seats on the long haul 747 flights. United is too cheap to offer a modern entertainment system, so they have TV's on the walls in the front of the cabin and they show you what they want to show you, and that is it. Economy plus has an extra 2-3 inches of leg room/pitch making it much nicer. Economy plus is generally less full than the rest of the plane, so you are more likely to have an empty seat next to you.

Premium economy class seat BRU-IAD. Legroom was good and seat width OK at 18", but this size should really be standard on overseas flights, it shouldn't cost extra. We're talking about maybe two inches difference in legroom between Premium economy and economy (I was curious so I checked it out after flight). Seat width also seems to be 18" in plain economy. All other services are exactly the same in plain economy. IFE was atrocious - unadjustable screen so couldn't see it with front seat reclined.

Took the economy seat from SGN-HKK-SFO. It is the last time I ever fly United Economy. I had the first row for that section, so I was right up on the TV screen for movies which was about the only positive from that flight. I couldn't stretch out my legs very well since we had a wall in front of us, but by the looks of the other rows we had the most room. WOW. The seat reclines 31", so they say, but for me the person behind me was a bit large and would restrict me from reclining the entire way. The width of the seat is perfect for someone who is a stick, however I felt like I was bulging out of the seat and I am not over weight or anything. As for getting in and out of the seat, we were lucky to be in that first row so we had a little extra room for moving around. As for others, I could see how it would be difficult if you were at the window or middle section.

This was one of the most uncomfortable trips I've ever taken - the seats on United's Airbus A319 are atrocious. I could not sleep, or even relax for this matter.


Review: 24 April 2008	Aircraft: Boeing 777	Name: C Wells (USA)
Position: Aisle	Layout: 2x5x2	PAX size: Medium
Recommended : No	Comfort Score : 1/10
Legroom space	United economy seats are notoriously poor but practically inhumane for overseas flights. Our 10.5hr flight recently from SFO to Narita was so uncomfortable that I paid extra to upgrade for the additional flights on my trip. The headphones handed out for movies in economy were so bad that I watched 3 movies with sound off. I offered to purchase better headphones, but none were available to me. Service on the flights between Narita and Bangkok was good - but seats were still extremely uncomfortable.

Review: 13 January 2008	Aircraft: Boeing 777	Name: E Thalmann (Germany)
Position: Middle	Layout: 2x5x2	PAX size: Medium
Recommended : No	Comfort Score : 3/10
Legroom space	Got the poorest seat (middle-seat on 2-5-2 configuration - that means the only seat in the row where you have to climb over 2 passengers to get out - but without the advantage of a window-seat like on 3-4-3-configuration); like due to the low booking-class of my ticket, although I checked in very early (3 hours in advance).

Position: Aisle	Layout: 3x4x3	PAX size: Medium

Legroom space	United international economy seat on old 747-400. Terrible comfort compared to its Star Alliance partners such as ANA and Asiana. Seat pitch felt smaller than 31-inches. I am 5'6" and there was not enough legroom. Being a frequent flyer on higher-quality airlines like ANA and Asiana, I was surprised to not have footrests. The seat recline was also not very generous. I was not able to sleep at all for the 14-hour flight. Also, even though I had an aisle seat, it was hard getting out of my seat whenever I had something on my tray table, which never happens to me.

Review: 21 May 2007	Aircraft: Boeing 757-200	Name: Ed Fry
Position: Aisle	Layout: 3x3	PAX size: Medium
Recommended : Yes	Comfort Score : 7/10
Legroom space	Aisle seat on Domestic B757. 31" Seat pitch but aisle allows you to stretch out. TVs situated all the way along the aisle so not so much a viewing issue as a selection. Alrite, but I would struggle in a middle seat on a flight much longer than 3 hours
