United Airlines Fleet · Starlink Rollout

United yanked 20 seats out of a 70-seater so they could add first class and a snack bar.

Sized to the exact 76-seat limit that pilot unions negotiated — any bigger and it's illegal to fly.

The first small jet where your carry-on might actually fit in the overhead bin.

Over 5,000 built — the most-produced jet airliner variant in history.

Longest 737 for its time but carried no extra people — ran out of emergency exits.

Same body Boeing turns into private jets for billionaires — just with 120 more seats.

First plane where United let you pair your AirPods to the seatback screen.

Yes, this is the one whose door panel blew off mid-flight on Alaska in 2024.

Grounded worldwide for 20 months after two crashes — longest ban on a U.S. jet ever.

Each engine is wider than the entire body of a 737 — the most powerful jet engines ever.

It's a stretched private jet. Windows are at knee height, ceiling brushes your hair. Comically cramped.

Higher cabin humidity and pressure than other jets — passengers actually feel less wrecked.

The smallest plane United flies that can still cross the Atlantic nonstop.

First airliner flown by joystick instead of a steering wheel — scandalized pilots in 1987.

Pilots love it — absurdly overpowered, climbs like a rocket, out of production since 2004.

Only one seat on the left side — half the plane gets a private window seat.

First wide-body designed for just two pilots — put an entire profession out of work.

So long its landing gear has to telescope taller at takeoff or the tail would drag.
