Where the room is

Exit rows — usually the most legroom in economy — are rows 31–32 on this layout. Rows 20, 21, 22, 31 and 32 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 moderate sidewall recess that adds a little lean-in room when the seat lines up with a window. The windows sit near eye level, so they are easy to look out of from a seated position. On this United Airlines layout, watch for 20A — window seats with no window or a misaligned one.

Window, aisle, or middle?
