Stay away from this airplane if you are over 6'1" tall and need to fly economy. I'm 6"2" either I have freakishly long femurs or the seat pitch is just too damn short. When we landed in SFO, my knees were literally bleeding because I was wedged into the seat like a sardine. There was literally NO possible position I could sit in that provided relief. I have had more legroom on all other Boeings, Airbuses, and Embraers.

Newark to GLA in 4F was great for overnight flight. Having no one next to me in 4E helped. I am 5'11" and was very comfortable stretched out with the seat in full recline. Service was great, food was ok, lots of pillows and blankets. I slept almost the entire time, was not at all bothered by bathroom proximity with either noise or odors (which on a flight full of glaswegians is saying something)

I am 6'4" and I had plenty of legroom but more importantly knee room. In a regular seat, I find it difficult to extend my legs under the seat because my knees press into the seat in front. The space for your feet is very narrow due to an electrical box being in the way. It is very difficult to get a carry on item like a backpack under that seat. Seats 21E and 21F have lots of feet space.

I was dreading this transatlantic flight from GLA to EWR on a type that I had last flown when it was the shuttle between GLA & LHR. I was pleasantly surprised. When I got the chance to check-in, there were only two standard seat available, both window seats (my preference is aisle). I chose 26A as it was at the trailing edge of the wing while the other seat was over the wing. This seat has access to two windows, although the downward view is limited by the wing. At just short of 6 feet, I found this seat to have sufficient legroom and the space under the seat in front was perfectly sized for my backpack. The seat was comfortable enough for me to not have to readjust my position for comfort reasons during this long flight.I do have two criticisms, one specific to the aircraft I flow on and the other possibly more general. Firstly, the monitor had touch sensitive dead zones one on the right hand side and the other on the bottom right. The result was that I wasn't able to scroll through the movies, etc. as the right arrow was inactive. I was restricted to choosing from the first four movies in each category. The dead zone at the bottom made it difficult to navigate between entertainment options. The second criticism is that the expansion/contraction zone for the overhead lockers is located in the area of row 26. There is a front and rear section of lockers which meet here and they can slide back and forward relative to each other. During take off and landing, when the fuselage is moving around a lot the movement between these two sections causes an ear splitting screech.

While there is extra legroom, there is no floor storage during take off and landing. Also, the tray table and the TV screen are on the side, which means the TV screen has to be stowed during taxi, landing and take off, which is unpleasant when one wants to use the screen during taxi, landing and take off.

I was pleasantly surprised upon boarding in November to find a lay flat "pod" instead of just a standard seat. It was very comfy, with a great screen and plenty or arm and shoulder room. The leg room was a bit cramped even in lie flat configuration (I'm 6' 1"), so taller folks may want a different seat or airplane. Also, the leg area angles inwards, taking away some side to side leg room. The one big issue is that if you're in the window seat as I was (4A) and the person to your right or left falls asleep in the lay flat configuration, good luck getting out to use the lavatory. You're stuck unless you want to wake him or her up. This will happen with just about any narrowbody first class product so I'm not overtly criticizing United; its just something to be aware of as a passenger. Also, this is really more of a business-class seat and product masquerading as first class on a narrowbody. Again, not meant as a horrid criticism, but it is something to be aware of if you're accustomed to "real" first class. Since I fly first class about once a every other decade if I'm lucky it didn't matter to me and I loved the flight and the overall product, but again its just something to be aware of.The bottom line, I really enjoyed my flight on UAL417 from LAX to OGG. It was a great flight, the seat was very comfortable, the amenities were fine, and the cabin crew was wonderful.

Flew this plane from Denver to Kona.I am only 5'1" and the leg room was cramped - more than other plane types I've flown. The seat was not very comfortable - not much cushioning. My husband in front of me - seat 23A - said he could feel everytime I "poked" the TV screen.I would not fly this plane again.Also, they ran out of decent food - sandwiches/pizza/salad - right before they got to my row and this was a 7 hour flight !!!

The seat was terribly uncomfortable. It's an Exit-Row-style seating configuration with tray-tables in the arm rests. This means the actual width if the seat is narrower than usual. There is also no screen in front of the row for in-flight viewing. Leg room was ample, but I'm a decently large guy, and could barely fit in the seat. This was also the first time I've ever had to use a belt-extender, even though most seats usually have plenty of belt length for me.

Recently flew this aircraft from Newark to Edinburgh, seated in 1A. The 757 is a narrow and cramped aircraft that is not very suitable or comfortable for a 6 1/2 hour transatlantic flight, even in business class. I would try to avoid it in the future for such trips. The galley was brightly lit overnight, with FAs congregating and having loud conversations, from seats 1A and B these noises and sounds are unavoidable and make it almost impossible to sleep. Also avoid aisle seats in Row 4 as they as located very close to a lavatory directly behind.

Tons of leg room in this bulkhead seat. Entertainment screen mounted on side and lifts up, similar to the in-armrest tables. The bathroom is further forward, so you don't get the sound of toilet flushing and door opening & closing like you do on a 737 or Airbus 320.

Awesome red eye flight experience. I thought that it would be cramped and weird inside a narrowbody for a 7.5 hour flight. But it was the opposite. It was an amazing flight, and Polaris was really nice and comfortable. The seat was really comfortable, and reclined into a fully flat bed. It had an outlet to the right of the seat, so I charged my laptop. Really enjoyed the 757 and the Polaris. I slept during the whole flight, I would take it again.

A horrid seat on a horrid plane. There is no room under the seat in front for any luggage, and the whole plane is so cramped that you'll likely be separated from both your bags stowed in the overhead. I took out the stacks of advertisem*nts from the seat pocket and was able to store my laptop (precariously) and jam a headseat in, and then put the baggie with my toothbrush on the floor. No room for a Kindle or a granola bar.The volume is 'off' on the announcements--if you're watching a movie using headphones, if they interrupt you to make an announcement (which they will, for every meal and beverage service, every time the seatbelt sign goes on and off, cruising altitude, etc.), you'll get *blasted*. By the time the flight landed, my ears were actually ringing. The flight was full of people frantically yanking their headphone jacks out and rubbing their ears with every announcement.

United has been flying this configuration of 757 on many if not most of their flights between Los Angeles and Newark lately, as opposed to the configuration marked as "PS". The best rows in Economy Plus on this plane, by far, are rows 7 A-C and 8 D-F. Row 7 has unlimited leg room, as it is situated right at one of the doors, with nothing in front of it. The space in front of 7A is slightly restricted by the bulge in the door, but this is not all that bothersome. Be aware, though, that these seats have no entertainment monitors at all, so best to bring your own device with you, or just a plain old book. For overnight flights, Row 8 would be better, as light from the galley would probably be bothersome for sleeping if you are in 7.

Be warned: in Economy Plus on this aircraft seats #7D/7E are regularly occupied by parents with infant children.

Bulkhead seat had immobile armrests. There's a personal TV screen, though headphones must be unplugged during takeoff and landing given the exit row position. There wasn't as much legroom despite being the bulkhead seat; in addition, since this was in front of another exit row, the seat could not lean back.

This seat was awesome. The legroom is nearly infinite thanks to the bulkhead cutout, and even from my window seat, I could access the aisle without having to wake up people next to me. Also the galley lights did not bother me at all, whereas they always were shining on the poor people on Row 7 and even 8A. The downsides were (1) the AVOD screen not locking into place when deployed and (2) having no floor storage, but 8DEF are still the best seats in the entire economy cabin.

Flew in this seat for an 8hr DUB-IAD flight. Lots of space for economy (even tho you pay a premium to sit here) -although on a full flight in this cramped, outdated, single aisled aircraft, you will be grateful for every inch of space you can get.

Reconsider choosing this flight if you are flying Trans-Atlantic!! I travel fairly regularly around the US and planes with spacing and seats like this are commonplace. If your flight is 1-3 hours it is bearable. For the Trans-Atlantic flights they add an LCD screen. Movies/shows were free and that was the one major plus to this flight. However this means that they add an extra "box" underneath the seat that further restricts what little leg room you have. I have a 34" inseam and 8 hours on this plane felt a little like torture.Food was good, service was good, movies/shows for free was great, but the seats were really old, small, and uncomfortable.

Its a bit much better than the rows 2 4 but still bad design and difficult access to the aisle from the window seat. The diagonal position, in addition to the narrow distance or pitch between the armrest and the front seat rows, make difficult to access the file without disturbing the person seated next to you. The UA headphones didnt work properly, the access in the back is horrible you have to make a lot workout to reach the chargers, to reach the headphones and plug them in definitely are very bad and crowded. Fortunately it was a short flight if you want to have access to aisle do not think about the window you will be almost blocked by the seats in front of you and the person seated next to you. The old version of back and forward positions had much more space to move out this is horrible. Other J class seats in other airlines such as LH, AA, QF with this configuration of 2-2-2 or 2-3-2 are positioned not in diagonal way and the designs of the back of each row makes easy access to aisle without obligating the person seated next to you to move out

It is difficult to store items under the seat in front of you, and if you have longish legs (I have a 34 inch inseam), it's difficult to fit your feet under the seat. This is because this row is the row behind the bulkhead row. For the bulkhead row, there is extra equipment below the seat. The extra equipment is for the pop-up LCD screen that the bulkhead customers have, because there is no seat in front of the bulkhead row to present the LCD screen. The equipment for the pop-up LCD screen takes approximately 4 inches of width. This is in addition to the approximately 5 inches of width that is taken under every row of seats to handle the entertainment system.

Some have complained that this equipment is outdated and the economy section is cramped, but I got stuck in row 35 on this plane for a 5 hour flight, and I must say it was a far cry better than the other 757-200 configuration that United flies cross-country.This is a former Continental plane, and doesn't have United newer slim-profile seats, or as bulky of an entertainment system under the seats. The result is more legroom and a much more usable old-fashioned seat pocket (the newer ones won't even fit a water bottle). I usually get Economy Plus when available, but for this equipment, regular Economy was bearable.

The alcove for your feet and luggage storage is much smaller for this seat than for others in this cabin. This is an issue if you are tall and want to sleep - you can't stretch out as you can in other seats,

The pilots rest seat is 4A. For all but the shortest international flights if you are in 4B you will have the pilots climbing over you as they rotate through their rest breaks every couple of hours.

This version of the 757-200 is where you will get the most seat pitch and leg room of any economy plus seat and airplane on United. This row has about 37 inches of seat pitch compared to the average which is 34 inches. This seat is for tall people because the person in front can't recline on you. However the arm rest on the window seat is fixed due to the exit row.

Seat was extremely cramped - small seat, little space to seat in front. Impossible for middle and window passengers to pass. Controls didn't work, movie selection limited.

Economy Plus is very good on this aircraft. On most United aircraft, Economy Plus means 4 extra inches of knee room at most seats. On this aircraft you get at least 6 extra inches. It's only two inches, but it's a big difference. Some people don't like having a single aisle on a longer flight on which they expect a twin-aisle aircraft, but you are going to spend far more time in your seat than roaming the aisles, so I'll take the legroom if I can get into Economy Plus or Business.

We paid extra for these exit row seats and felt like they should have paid us to sit there. The seats don't recline, which we knew, but the way the seat is shaped you are pitched forward slightly. Everyone in row 20 complained almost immediately after we sat down. Both my husband and I had back pain for days after.

The door encroaches on leg space slightly and there is a vent near the door which makes the area round your legs drafty and quite cold.

Seats 8A-8C comfortable but susceptible to galley noise when crew busy preparing for service.

Per previous, row 20 has NO RECLINE AT ALL.Great legroom, but for an overnight transatlantic flight this was a disaster. We paid $200 extra for the two seats and had zero sleep and sore backs.***Avoid this row at all costs***

Ticket bought from Air Canada but flight ran by United. NJ to Lisbon. Very very very uncomfortable seats. Stiff and would not recline at all. Even we could not use the neck rest. Sat upright all night. Stiff neck for 2 weeks. United charged us $500 for the 2 upgraded seats. Worst experience of life time.

This is a very comfortable seat. If you have to sit in coach for 8+ hours, this isn't a bad way to do it. Very comfortable and plane looked freshly refurbed.

I've been on this plane type several times between EWR and LHR. Exit row 20 has NO recline. Very upright. Lot's of leg room but tough to sleep/sit for 8+ hours.

My comment is about row 1 versus rows 2, 3, 4 in First. The comment applies to all seats in the row - A, B, E, F. These lie-flat seats have a floor-level cut-out for storing a bag and/or foot room. They also have a shelf for storing low-height items such as magazines or books during flight (after take-off and before landing). The width of these areas is significantly wider and thus more comfortable in row 1 than in rows 2-4.
