Where the room is

Exit rows — usually the most legroom in economy — are rows 20–21 on this layout. Rows 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20 and 21 are sold as extra-legroom seats. The forward rows feel widest; rows toward the tail narrow and often sit near galleys and lavatories.

Window seats

Window seats sit in a noticeable sidewall recess, so a seat lined up with a window gains a few extra inches of shoulder room. The windows sit low on this aircraft, so taller passengers often lean down to look out. On this United Airlines layout, watch for 12A, 13F — window seats with no window or a misaligned one.

Window, aisle, or middle?
