Overview
The Boeing 757-200 is United's premium narrowbody, with 40 aircraft featuring 16 lie-flat business seats. Its unusual range for a single-aisle jet lets it fly transatlantic, making it unique in United's fleet.
In 2026 it still serves premium transcontinental routes like Newark–Los Angeles and Newark–San Francisco, plus Hawaii and thin transatlantic routes. United ordered the Airbus A321XLR to begin replacing and retiring its 757-200s, though it has not published a retirement date: the XLR, which entered revenue service in September 2026, is the designated replacement on thin transatlantic routes, while A321neo and Boeing 737 jets backfill domestic 757 flying.

WiFi & In-Flight Entertainment
Nearly all of the 40 aircraft have Ku-band satellite WiFi, plus AVOD, personal-device entertainment, and 110V AC power at every seat. United says it expects to bring free Starlink WiFi — free for MileagePlus members — to its whole fleet by the end of 2027, but it has not published a 757 install schedule; the Starlink-equipped A321neo and A321XLR already carry it.
