Worse seats on the plane for anyone over six feet tall. You either have to spread your legs or sit sideways to fit in the seat. Also you are constantly bumped by flight attendants, carts and passengers who have to use a bathroom. Two bathrooms for the entire plane is unacceptable. Avoid this flight at all costs.

Submitted by Bryce M on 2019/08/08 for Seat 4B

I used miles to upgrade to first & that was the biggest waste imaginable. It's absolutely disgusting in the first class cabin. I am trying to upload pictures to show how dirty the seat in front of me was and how they cut a scrap of carpet to lay over the floor. Get economy plus instead. This was ridiculous.

MY FEET WERE FREEZING! Pack socks!

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2019/03/24 for Seat 20F

Horrible seat. Between the absence of recline (1st row of exit) and the presence of a protruding dysfunctional semi-armrest attached to the exit, it is impossible to assume a natural relaxing position. You are forced to squeeze at an angle. After 4.5 hours of this torture, I came out limping. If you have to sit there, bring your bottle of ALEVE pills. You will need them. SeatGuru: Change to RED

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2019/03/09 for Seat 12f

Seat 12F is not ecomony plus. it's a shorter length seat than even regular coach. Horrible.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2019/01/21 for Seat 9D

The power receptacles were not in a handy place. Seats are tight, so if you are a heavier person bring a seat belt extender with you.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2018/12/28 for Seat 14b

They have made row 14 (or looks like added it) and row 15 Economy Plus that you can upgrade to, which we did and it was a huge mistake because there is no leg room. You cant even bend over to get things out of your carryon. It's terrible.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2018/10/15 for Seat 11B

No window mean blank wall (WHY?), except for the very small sliver of mis-aligned window from Row 10. Although we flew a night flight, I'd thought we'd have SOME window to view landing/take-off. I took a photo I'd like to submit. Legroom was good even for my 6'4" husband.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2018/09/23 for Seat 5a

horrible seat, seat did not recline at all

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2018/09/10 for Seat 33E

Middle seat near the back. I'm 6'0" and on most other planes I have about an inch gap. Middle seats are "tolerable." This time I was forced to sit straight up and my knees still touched the back of the seat. Worst plane I've ridden in a long time. Clearly a United cattle shuttle.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2018/08/29 for Seat 2B

LAX-HNL First class? Yeh First class in the 1980s more like. To add insult to injury there is not even lounge access at LAX after a 12 hour flight from FRA! Service excellent however, food....not so excellent.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2018/08/28

If you have carry-on, be aware that you may not have any storage bin available. United will board you in either Group 3 or 4. By that time all the storage bins in the vicinity of Row 8 will probably be filled. And, you have no storage in front of you as it is a bulkhead.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2018/08/18 for Seat 11A

This window seat does recline but has no window!

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2018/07/24 for Seat 3F

Flew in 3F from SFO to ORD. Leather seat with adequate legroom & width. Recline was OK for this 4 hour daytime flight. Would not want it for sleeping or very long flight. There were 2 lunch choices but they ran out of one by the time they got to me in row 3.

Submitted by Rob H on 2018/07/13 for Seat 7F

Extra legroom due to bulkhead. Under seat storage in front because bulkhead does not go all the way to the floor.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2018/07/12 for Seat 5F

The restroom between first and economy is ridiculously small. I am 177 cm and 89 kg, and never thought of myself as being fat or otherwise "oversized", but I had a very hard time just figuring how to turn around in this restroom. Also, the recline in 5F is microscopic; I was on an upgrade coupon, and got what I was paying for, but if I had bought First Class, I would be shocked at the lack of comfort of those seats.

Submitted by Robert B on 2018/05/31 for Seat 28D

Theres some kind of server infrastructure taking up the 28DEF half of the overhead bin - no room at all for bags. It also has very loud fans, so 28D is a poor choice if you want to get some sleep.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2018/05/25 for Seat 9A

Even though this seat is an economy plus seat it doesn't have much more leg room than standard economy seats. The close proximity to the lavatory may be bothersome since there will most likely be a line when the seatbelt sign is off.

Submitted by Lu H on 2018/05/07 for Seat 15A

737-900 no Eco plus seat configuration. Recline on seats on row 15 are restricted.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2018/05/05 for Seat 3E

First Class fare for this kind of seat, and the amenities provided, is a complete, giant RIP OFF. We flew a 757 out from SFO to NYC; that was truly luxurious first class, with nice over the ear headphones, great -- fantastic! -- food, and wonderful service. In the 737, you get Direct TV. Not on-demand, it is whatever is "on" at the time. Yes, you get commercials too. They give out crappy little earbuds that sound absolutely awful. The food was disgusting: a choice between a fish dish and a vegan dish!! What the heck is that? Butternut squash manicotti? Seriously? Disgusting! And, as far as the seat goes, you get good width, but the recline is barely a little more than a normal coach seat. There is no foot rest. Overall, not at all worth it! Save your money.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2018/04/26 for Seat 31e

31E has no window or only partial window extending from row 32.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2018/04/18 for Seat 2A

Old plane with very uncomfortable seats even in business class (business price without comfort). No foot rest at all. Limited recline. No TV or direct TV service to personal device.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2018/03/24 for Seat 15b

The seat backs are so bad for storage...the pouch for personal items is almost on the floor. The net to hold things is unprivate mesh less than 12 inches deep....the underseat storage could hardly hold a purse....but United tookmpreciuos space below the tv screen for their promotional magazine etc.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2018/03/18 for Seat 28A

The window looks directly onto the wing. There is a second window over ypur left shoulder but that requires a real neck twist to see out. So choose a different seat for a view. Otherwise a pretty standard economy seat.

My boyfriend & I saw in 7E & 7D. There is more legroom here than in first class. He sat in the aisle and wasn't bothered by people entering or exiting the bathroom, but the stewardess would crash into him every time she passed by coming from first. Not sure why as the seat in first class sticks out and is even to where this seat sticks out into the aisle, but that is definitely a draw back. I sat in the middle and had no issues. The arm rests do not move. We had more legroom than we knew what to do with and he is 6'1. The separation wall doesn't extend to the floor, so you can put your purse, backpack, briefcase, etc. there and still have room. I will buy these seats again in the future if I don't buy into first.

Seat 38F is not as a terrible seat as one would think. Sure, it's right by the lavatories but the Flight Attendants are right there for you and anything you need. Furthermore, it's one of the two only seats provide a view to the horizontal stabilizer which is pretty neat. Despite the fact that it also doesn't recline and it doesn't have the best legroom, seat 38F is just as good and provides a great exterior view as any other seat on the aircraft. Happy flying!

Exit row seat against door. Very good leg room and the row in front can't recline so fairly good space, though seats are rather narrow (but not as bad as some other UAL flights). Seat cushion is thin but I was OK on my flight from ORD to SFO. Window is slightly forward so you have to lean forward to look out. This seat also with no recline; didn't bother me. Short arm rest built into exit door supported my elbow & part of arm. Rested my hand on tray & was OK.

Seat has plenty of legroom. Correctly aligned window. A little narrow in that not much room to use the armrest between 8F window seat and 8E middle seat. Across from bathroom and so you most likely will hve people coming/going to the bathroom all throughout flight. Good AC flow.

When I got to the podium an hour before the flight departed, I was originally in seat 34F, but the flight was only half full and they moved me to Eco Plus for free.

I flew LAX to IAH on United flight 1614 on 1/30/17. My seat was 14C which is an aisle seat. This was the 737-900. The seat map is accurate. I was surprised there was actually leg room in this seat. I am only 5'3", but the seat in front of me was a good 6" away. The seats do recline, but not a whole lot. There is no video display on the seats. United now has free wifi on this flight and they want you to download their app and watch the entertainment from the app. I ended up watching a movie on my iphone. Not ideal, but it was a movie to watch. The choices were very limited, most of the movies were pretty old; some TV series. The usual free coffee, tea & soft drinks, but a charge for snacks and other drinks. The United staff at the LAX airport are not friendly and because I was in boarding group 5 they made everyone gate check their bag. I wasn't real happy about it but they wouldn't let me board the plane unless I gave them my carry-on. The terminal is under construction in LA, and there is extremely limited seating and all the restaurants and few shops close at 10:00 PM. Be prepared! Overall I thought this plane was pretty comfortable. I didn't think the seats were uncomfortable, but I did bring two small pillows for my back so I didn't notice the hardness. I preferred this flight to my connecting flight which was on a 737-800. Those are awful! I did not pay extra for this seat, and would recommend this row and all rows in front of this!

Agree that this is a very standard option, though the extra width and pitch made the 4 hr flight from EWR-CUN pleasant.

These new seats on United are terrible, even in Economy Plus.

They barely recline, leaving uncomfortable angles for even reading. They are so bad that despite gold status and 700k+ miles on United, I now avoid United as much as possible.

This seat does recline unlike the map indicated. If you only have a small personal item, this will be an OK seat since you don't need overhead bin space. I did like the proximity to the bathroom. Overall United economy is like a bus, cramped and crowded, takes about 20+ minutes to de-plane.

These seats are below average for first class seats. The pitch is average (38') - American has the best domestic first class pitch at 40/41'. This flight had DTV but it was in and out and it is disappointing that United has removed channel 9 (flight deck radio). Meal service in United First is awful - two choices, one cold & one hot option, both are equally bad. Air Canada hands down, has the best domestic/trans-border business class meal/beverage service in the market.

The previous coment about 12F is TRUE. We were supposedly upgraded to economy plus 9/27 from IAD to SFO with seats 12E&F, but the right side row of 12 is the standard 31 inch pitch. This is because United added 7D,E&F to the right side, but no 7 A,B or C because of the bathroom

While this is theoretically a window seat, the window is positioned next to your shoulder and therefore effectively unusable for adults.

United first class is not worth any added expense. This seat has literally no recline and is right in front of the bathroom. This didn't stop the flight attendant from waking me to tell me to make sure my seat was in the upright and locked position. When awake I listened to constant banging from the lavatory door and could hear the faucet and flushing noises. The "first class meal" consisted of a luke warm scone the size of a small cookie. They came through once with a beverage service, otherwise you had to use your call light. The seat was also hard and uncomfortable and the leg room was no more that regular economy. United first class is not worth the price.

The first class seats are the most uncomfortable of any aircraft in the fleet. They are too close together - same legroom as economy plus, and barely recline. Do not even consider sleeping in these seats. On the EWR - SAN route (5.5 hour flight) they are no more comfortable than economy plus.

The seat 12D I was in was behind an economy plus seat. The light dimming for that directv screen was broken and the seat pitch was so bad even smaller women had trouble getting in and out. A true safety hazard. The padding was horrible and thin and the air vents were barely pushing air. The small of my back was sweaty due to horrible material of the seat and no ventilation. This seat only had one window because there was a blocked-out window. The bathroom in front was so small and the trash receptacle was horrible and overflowed. The underseat area was terrible and the way the power-plugs are arranged they are unusable due to being where someone's leg would be. The seat pitch is so bad if someone fully reclines you cannot get out of the seat. Thank goodness the aisle armrest was unlocked or I would be stuck in the seat. I think if there was a need for an emergency evac it would be a nightmare due to people being completely stuck. Shame on united for doing this. I spit on them and I have status with them due to my home city. I spit on united and its disgusting criminal deep vein thrombosis and unsafe plane seats.

Flight was tortuous due primarily to United's "new" super-thin, light-weight seats, which are comparable to riding on a hard church pew, but without the proper lumbar support. (At least one does not feel every little kick or touch from the person sitting behind you.) I am a slender 5'5" woman, who usually does not complain about much. HOWEVER, the seats on this particular aircraft are lacking cushions! One notices it after only a few minutes. Not only does it hurt your bum, but also your hips, and eventually your back and neck. To make matters worse, United decided to completely take out the TV screens (both the ones that were above and in back of the seat in front of you), with the "excuse" that customers prefer to use their own electronic devices to access United's WIFI. Problem: not everyone brings a laptop or tablet on board...and United charges $25 to ACCESS their WIFI. Result: Practically no one on this overnight flight watched ANY kind of entertainment, which would have been helpful to distract one from the torturously Uncomfortable "new" and "improved" seats. This entire company--United--has gone downhill so fast since it merged with Continental. United is only concerned about profits for its shareholders, and is so incredibly LAme compared to true worldclass European airline companies. It sickens me to hear United's rationale (lieing marketing strategy) about is WIFI, when it is so obviously a money grab. The airline also crammed in a few more rows of seats, making the entire cabin feel like a slave ship. (At least the slaves got to lie down...) Truly, truly a very Unpleasant, painful, maddening experience to fly non-stop across the US on United. (I've been doing it for over 25 years...and United has managed to make it the worst experience possible short of a total, fatal crash...) No TV; terribly painful seats in Economy Plus, fewer and fewer windows, having to pay for extra luggage, no food, often rude and disrespectful flight attendants. One good thing: the pilot made a beautiful landing. Also, I managed to get a blanket. Whoever designed those lightweight SEATS, or whoever purchased them on behalf of United should be FIRED... United needs more competition in this route (Seattle to Newark Airport). If there were a decent alternative, I would abandon United in a heartbeat. The SEATS are terrible...and NO TV unless you want to pay $25 extra (they don't tell you this until the very last minute after you've made up your mind you want to watch a movie) borders on fraudulent customer service. (Not "service"--but abuse.)

First flight on a brand new aircraft, in BusinessFirst. Should have been a real treat, but instead may have been one of my last flights on United. The first class seats are very short, about six inches of my leg was past the edge of the seat and I'm only 6ft tall, so pretty average). The premium cabin is so packed, you cant access the aisle without the other passenger getting up, and you still bump the seat in front of you if they're reclined even a little bit.

Really frustrated by this experience. Net net is pretty negative. Paying up for Economy plus seats in this model does give you great leg room, but the seats are so incredibly uncomfortable-- you can't recline in a way (and I'm not a big recliner) that is comfortable, nor sit up straight in a way that's comfortable. I experienced bad neck pain all throughout the flight (never happens) and my hips paid a big price in stiffness both on the flight and day after. All because the chairs are really not designed in a truly ergo positive fashion. I'm a 5'6" thin woman, so it shouldn't be too hard to make it comfortable. The chair padding is way too thin- you feel everything in the pocked from seat behind you and as reported, terrible lumbar support. Aisles are too narrow and you constantly get whacked by carts and passengers walking by. Seats too narrow to comfortably make use of armrest TV controls, and elbows constantly hit the one next to yours. United really screwed up with these choices of seats. Made a long trip feel doubly so. Sad. I used to love Continental's configurations.

This is one of the worst planes I've ever been on (I've been on many and I'm including the puddle-jumpers.) This seems to be one of those planes where they added seats, both side-to-side, and back-to-front. Everything seemed fairly new so it seems this was recently done. The seats are narrower than standard planes, and with less leg room and under-seat storage as well. Average-sized people are crammed in like sardines. I am only 5'2" and about 110 lbs and I felt like I couldn't move at all; there wasn't even enough leg room for my short legs. I usually don't pay much attention to the plane models, but this configuration was so bad (and so obviously greed-induced due to how they've packed seats in) that in the future I'll be avoiding this model at all costs, no matter what the seat.

Poor video selection for over water. Not bad over the mainland. Seat very uncomfortable for 4+ hours of flying. VERY noisy, even in First.

This seat was actually more ucomfortable than 38A and the tall person behind me kept bumping the seat with her knees. The power outlets were hard to reach. PAYING individual entertainment screen at the seat. Doesn't make much sense to offer entertainment on a red eye but OK.

The seat seemed to recline just as far as the other ones. The power outlets were hard to reach. No individual entertainment screen at the seat. Paid wifi available but unclear what the entertainment options would be.

Good window seat--back edge of wing is located about 3 rows further up, so decent view from row 29

I avoid UA's 737's whenever possible but a switch put a 737-900V1 on the flight. Full flight and red-eye to boot. Jammed in place with "normal sized" folks in 25D,E - I'm 5-10,175. Awful hard bottom, hard on back, annoying Direct TV screen (turned off)- thankful flight was shorter than scheduled. Have tried Econ Plus in these A/C same dreadful seat. I would prefer 757 or A319-320 for seating preference. I doubt UA will put in the new Recaros in these 737's; but that would be a milestone of improvement IMHO.

While this is a 737-900, it felt more like a 737-200 (outdated earlier 737, showing age, cramped). The 900 is supposed to be a stretched 737 with revamped lighting and a better cabin, but I had better times in southwest's 737-300s. I'm 5'11" and the seats are cramped very tightly, my knee almost touched the front seat (read: like a school bus) and the width of the seat seemed maybe an inch or two narrower than usual. All in all, the impression was that I was on an outdated 737 that United wasn't going to revamp and was probably in the process of either swapping or wearing it down as much as possible until the next C or D check. If you fly this 737-900, I would HIGHLY recommend upgrading to economy plus and get a window seat. The aisle seat gets bumped often since the entire airplane is crammed like sardines.

Had this seat for the last three hours of a 20-hour trip from Japan, so I was already fried. I had enough room for a fully loaded Samsonite laptop backpack under the seat in front. Agree that the seat is very thin and has no lumbar support. When the lady behind me pressed her knees into the seat back, I got a little back massage-- it wasn't bad. The 3-inch recline is barely worth using. Biggest annoyance was the AV controls on both left and right armrests. I kept hitting them accidentally on both sides and changing the channels. Didn't matter much since I did not pop for the $7.99 charge to use it, and figured out how to disable the obnoxious repeating advertisements by turning the brightness all the way down. I didn't notice the adjustable sides of the head rest until I stood up to leave. For all that, the flight was okay, with good air pressure.

Seat 11A does not have a window, but is a very comfortable seat. Seat 10A window is located slightly behind the center of the 10A seat cushion, so it is possible to look outside.

I would like to reiterate information for seat 21A. This seat was more expensive than any other Economy Plus seat. This leads one to believe it is better than all others in every way. 21A, however, is little more than a jump seat. There is no padding in the seat and no padding whatsoever (let alone lumbar support) in the back. Additionally, the back is straight as a board with virtually no room to recline because of how close the passenger is behind you. Everything the passenger behind me put into their seatback pocket could be felt in my back. Literally, the seat is so thin, even the Hemisphere magazine poked into my back. And yes, it is correct that there is NO armrest on the left side of this seat. There is a 5-inch flat block on the exit door itself, but it is so far forward that that really isn't much of a rest either. The extra leg room is nice in this seat, but I promise your back will hurt by the time you land.

This seat does have limited recline but it is the same as a car seat. The position when the seat is back is 100% comfortable. I think this seat needs a yellow/green!

The 8C has an angle and location making flight attendant walking at you when passing the curtain between business and economy. The toilet door is very close to your right foot and people standing waiting are not aware of your legs and feets. I would have this seat marked as red in seatguru.

12A definitely is missing a window. If no one is behind you or they don't care, while the seat is reclined you will have a window right at your head, but in the upright position it is definitely a boring seat.

Seat 30A has the heat vent, which serves the entire rear section, from the sidewall blow directly on it and cannot be turned off. The Stewardess called it "the hot seat." It was uncomfortable.

The seat bottom in this seat has less cushion than normal. However, the exit door protrusion is very slight.
