United has a large fleet of these 757-200, which forms the backbone of UA's domestic service. This plane is used on routes as short as San Francisco to Los Angeles, as well as long routes to Hawaii.
First class has 24 seats, making for very good upgrade chances.
United prioritizes meal selection preferences based on MileagePlus frequent flyer membership status in this order: United Global Service, Premier Executive 100K (1K), Premier Executive, Premier, general members and finally non-members. Flight attendants will either take the order based on status by jumping around the cabin, or take orders front to back, notifying lower status passengers that their first choice may not be available before sorting the list in the galley.
Economy Plus is quite spacious on this plane at 36 inches of pitch, close to many domestic First class offerings.
