United Airlines has 55 united airbus 319 planes in their fleet, so if you are flying United on a North American route, you may end up on one. Here’s a guide to united airbus 319 seating, so you know what to expect on your next flight and can make a better decision about where to sit.

The United Airbus 319 is an enjoyable way to fly, and it offers many seating options. The typical seating configuration is a small First Class section, 7 rows of Economy Plus seating, and 12 rows of standard Economy.

First Class

The First Class section consists of two rows of seats in a 2×2 configuration, for a total of 8 seats. Each seat has a standard seat pitch of 38”, 20.5” of seat width, and 6” of seat recline. The first row is the bulkhead row, so you will not have anyone reclining in front of you. There is also an overhead TV screen for in-flight entertainment located at the first row. The bulkhead has a small cutout for extra leg extension but some might still find it restrictive.

Economy Plus
If you decide to fly Economy, you can choose an Economy Plus seat, which offers up to 5 inches of extra legroom over the standard Economy seat. The Economy Plus seats are in a 3×3 configuration in rows 7-21, for a total of 40 seats, so there are plenty available. Row 7 is the bulkhead seat. The charge for an Economy Plus seat depends on the route, and you can purchase a seat at booking or at check in.

Standard Economy
The majority of travelers enjoying the United Airbus 319 seating will be traveling in the Economy section. The Economy seats are in a 3×3 configuration in rows 22-34, for a total of 72 seats. Each seat has 31” of pitch, 18” of width, and 5” of recline. Rows 20-21 are the exit rows, so travelers sitting here will have some extra leg room.
