    United Airlines Holdings FY2025 Form 10-K (as of 2025-12-31): mainline fleet table lists Boeing 757-200 with 40 aircraft (39 owned, 1 leased), 176 seats in standard configuration, 28.9 years average age, being replaced by the 737 MAX 9. Establishes the single standard 176-seat count and the 40-airframe fleet size.

    United Airlines fleet table: a single Boeing 757-200 row, 40 in service, with the passenger cabin split 16 United Polaris (J, lie-flat) / 42 Economy Plus (Y+) / 118 Economy (Y) = 176. Establishes the per-cabin split and the business product (United Polaris).

    Neutral fleet table gives cabin counts and product labels only; it does not publish the row grid, exit/monument positions or seat dimensions, which are derived here. Wikipedia lists one current 757-200 configuration (no premium-transcon/p.s. row).

How this map was built

2026-09-30: Seat labels, numbering gaps, column letters and Economy Plus assignment transcribed from United's archived official map image; standard dimensions from the matching aircraft page. Economy Plus is a zone within a shared economy cabin. Source table/image conflicts are recorded in the UA audit. Window alignment is unknown. Only published limited-recline exceptions are flagged; ratings default to standard. The schematic furniture inventory is intentionally incomplete, so unverified adjacency/bassinet/window flags from the prior inferred grid were removed. Current per-tail fleet counts, hardware, connectivity rollouts and all legacy amenity descriptions remain outside the verified claims. United lists 7ABC as exit-row seats; 7DEF and Polaris1AB are the published fixed-bassinet assignments. Do not treat the whole row as uniformly exit-restricted.

What changed

  1. Oct 1, 2026Independent United source triage: version-bound power/USB/IFE, zero recline, exact staggered MAX8 labels and published exceptions, source-date/product wording qualification. Legacy inferred hardware, furniture and window uncertainty remain explicit. Qualify United outlet connector claims: generic availability remains prose, unsupported AC enum omitted, explicit wireless/StudioUSB-C preserved. No map, numbering, totals, coordinates or source archives changed.
  2. Sep 30, 2026Primary-source audit: updated published standard dimensions; reconstructed grid only where explicit archived airline image reconciliation is implemented. Remaining unverified scope documented in notes.
  3. Jul 14, 2026Initial creation of United 757-200 config 752 (176 seats: 16 United Polaris / 42 Economy Plus / 118 United Economy), derived from the FY2025 SEC 10-K total and the Wikipedia fleet-table cabin split.
