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.

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).

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.

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
