Here’s a pretty unique variation of a Douglas DC-10 Tri-Jet from the 1980s for this edition of Vintage Airline Seat Maps. Operated by Continental Airlines, this DC-10-10 was configured with two classes of service seating 22 up front and 262 in coach. Special to this bird was the lounge area commonly referred to as the…

Vintage Airline Seat Map: American Airlines Boeing 707-123
It’s time for another Vintage Airline Seat Map, and I’ve gone even more vintage than normal bringing you an American Airlines Boeing 707 (type 123) “LuxuryJet” from the 1970s. Keep in mind this was back in the days of generous seat pitch in coach, and service to match. First class seated 14 passengers in a…
Vintage Airline Seat Map: United Airlines Boeing 737-200
It’s time for another Vintage Airline Seat Map, and I’ve selected a United Airlines Boeing 737-200. Seating 109 passengers in a two-cabin configuration, this bird was an absolute workhorse for United during its tenure with the carrier & affectionately called the “guppy.†I flew it many, many times in both cabins and really enjoyed watching…
Vintage Airline Seat Map: USAir DC-9-30
I’ve selected a USAir DC-9-30 for this installment of Vintage Airline Seat Maps. Configured in a single class layout, it seated 110 passengers in the usual 2 x 3 format common to all DC-9 series aircraft. The first two rows featured unique forward and aft facing seats with tables in between each grouping of seats.…
Vintage Airline Seat Map: Pan Am Boeing 747
I was curious to see the full cabin layout of the Pan Am Boeing 747 featured in this video from 1989, so here is a “blended†edition of Vintage Airline Seat Maps. By blended, I’m referring to the difference in first class seating from the video as compared to the full South American version posted…
Vintage Airline Seat Map: Delta Air Lines Boeing 727-200
I’ve selected a Delta Air Lines Boeing 727-200 for this edition of Vintage Airline Seat Maps. The carrier operated another version, with the only basic difference being that the rear galley was on the right starboard side of the aircraft. I liked the 727, as did the pilots. Takeoff thrust is eerily quiet when sitting…
Vintage Airline Seat Map: Eastern Airlines DC-10-30
I’ve selected an Eastern Airlines DC-10 for this installment of Vintage Airline Seat Maps. The series 30 model was a longer range version of the then popular Douglas Aircraft Company tri-jet. Instantly distinguished from the dash-10 series by the additional center main twin-wheel landing gear, Eastern initially operated this airplane on the Miami to London…
Vintage Airline Seat Map: American Airlines Boeing 747SP
I’ve mentioned before that it’s a toss-up for me as to whether the Boeing 747 or Douglas DC-10 is my all-time favorite airplane, and here is another variation of the 747 for this installment of Vintage Airline Seat Maps. Called the “SP†for Special Performance, it is basically a shorter version based on the 747-100…
Vintage Airline Seat Map: United Airlines DC-8-70
I was inspired by seeing a United DC-8 stuck in the Chicago snowstorm of 1979 pictured here, so this installment of Vintage Airline Seat Maps showcases a United Airlines DC-8-70. I had the privilege of flying on several of these birds in the late 1980s before they were retired, and I’m glad I did. They…
Vintage Airline Seat Map: Braniff 727-200
For this installment of Vintage Airline Seat Maps, I selected a single-class Braniff Boeing 727-200. Seating 160 people, I thought it was interesting Braniff elected to only have one galley area for a relatively high density aircraft. On most other airlines operating the dash-200s, you’d find a second one near the rear exit doors. Braniff…
