The United Airlines Boeing 737-800 carries 166 passengers across United First + Economy Plus + Economy. Power and Wi-Fi are available on this aircraft. Seats are rated below, so you can see which have the legroom, the window alignment and the quiet — and which sit next to a galley or lavatory.
The seats rated best on this map are 15A, 15B, 15E, 15F, 20A, 20B. Another 64 seats are rated best or good. Look for exit rows 20 and 21 for extra legroom. The map marks 54 seats with extra legroom.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 36A, 36B, 36C, 36D, 36E, 36F. Another 12 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
United First on the 737-800 is a two-two recliner seat with a slightly wider seat and more recline than Economy. Domestic First gets you a snack or meal service on longer routes — it is a step up, though not a premium international product.
On a two-hour flight the extra legroom is a genuine comfort improvement, especially if you are tall. Whether the upcharge is worth it depends on the price — it can be modest on sale fares or quite steep on busy routes.
Seats directly over the wing experience the least motion in turbulence, as that area is closest to the aircraft's centre of lift. If turbulence bothers you, the mid-cabin Economy Plus or forward Economy rows over the wing are your best bet.
