About the Boeing 757-200
Boeing lists the -200 at 155 feet 3 inches (47.32 meters). The longer -300 measures 178 feet 7 inches (54.43 meters). Delta’s passenger examples show how airlines can arrange the same -200 airframe in different ways.
Seating capacity
Delta publishes a 199-seat layout with 20 Delta First, 35 Delta Comfort and 144 Delta Main seats. Another plan has 193 seats, with 20 in Delta First, 53 in Delta Comfort and 120 in Delta Main. Check the operating airline’s map for your flight.
Cabin layout
In Delta’s 199-seat example, Delta First has two seats on each side of the aisle. Regular Delta Main rows have three on each side. The seat map marks exits, galleys and lavatories, which can help you choose a row. Check the map for your own flight because section boundaries vary by layout.
How to recognize a Boeing 757-200
Look for the long, narrow fuselage and two engines below the wings. In comparable side views the -200 is shorter than the -300. Use the aircraft registration to confirm the version when a photo makes the proportions hard to judge.
Variants and related aircraft
The FAA lists the 757-200 and the specialized C-32 under B752. Boeing also documents the -200PF freighter, whose main deck carries cargo. The longer passenger 757-300 uses B753.
