Has anyone traveled with United Airlines on Boeing 757-200?

Question

Flying to Boston from Denver in about a week...On the way back to Denver from Boston I think I will be on Airbus 320. Could you tell me about both these planes please? Thanks a lot. Happy flying!!

Answer 1

I have flown on United's 757-200 multiple times.  The 757 entered service around 1982 is a pretty popular airplane with United.  Currently Boeing has stopped manufacturing the 757 aircraft.  United used the 757 and 737 to replace its 727 aircraft.  Seating in coach is 3 and 3 so the aircraft is not a wide-body.  On the 757 I flew in from Boston to Chicago recently, there was Economy Plus seating where there is an extra 5 to 6 inches of legroom.  It is nice to have if you are a taller person.  United did serve a snack and a beverage on this flight.  No movie was shown though they do have the TV screen that drops down to show the in-flight safety video.

As for the A320, we flew that aircraft with United from Chicago to Cincinnati.  The A320 is the first narrow-body to enter into service with Airbus.  It seats around 124-150 passengers in a 3-3 configuration.  There were no TVs in the back seat but the in-flight video was shown on screens that drop from the cabin ceiling.  On the A320, there is a little pillow-like item on the seat so you can rest your head on the flight.  The 757 aircraft did not have this.
