Vintage Airline Seat Map: American Airlines Boeing 727-200 From 1985
Back in November I posted the pre-deregulation version of American’s 727-200 with 16 seats in first class and 111 in coach. Those were the days of generous legroom in coach, almost being equivalent to that of first class.

Vintage Airline Seat Map: Continental Airlines Boeing 727-200
It’s time for a little narrowbody love in this installment of Vintage Airline Seat Maps. Shown below is a Continental Airlines Boeing 727-200 seen flying the skies in 1987.

Vintage Airline Seat Map: American Airlines Boeing 727-100 from 1985
Last week I posted a pre-deregulation seat map of an American Airlines Boeing 727-100 and I thought it would be interesting to compare it against a version flying the skies eight years later for this installment of Vintage Airline Seat Maps. American pulled out one row of First Class, removed the coat compartment and bar…

The carrier had four different configurations of the -200 and this one was their highest density bird in 1987 seating 177 passengers…
