For this installment of Vintage Airline Seat Maps, I bring you a single-class Piedmont Airlines Boeing 737-200 seen flying the skies in 1987. Other Piedmont aircraft operating at that time included Boeing 727s, 737-300s, Fokker F28s, as well as dual-class Boeing 767-200s on its Charlotte-London Gatwick route. While 10A/F on the map below probably offered…

Vintage Airline Seat Map: American Airlines DC-10 ‘Standard’ from 1987
Last month I published a seat map of American’s “Standard†DC-10 from 1985 sporting a spacious coach cabin. I noted in that post that a mere two years later in 1987, this same aircraft was reconfigured with 22 additional seats in the rear cabin and promised to share the higher-density layout. Here, then, is American’s…
Vintage Airline Seat Map: United Airlines Boeing 747 Royal Pacific Service
United purchased Pan Am’s Pacific Division in 1985 and along with it came a fleet of 11 Boeing 747 aircraft (among others). I previously posted United’s Royal Pacific 747 seat map with a higher concentration of premium seats, and here now is the standard Royal Pacific configuration for this installment of Vintage Airline Seat Maps.…
Vintage Airline Seat Map: United Express British Aerospace BAe 146-200
How about a little regional carrier love for this installment of Vintage Airline Seat Maps? Appearing below is the seat map for a United Express British Aerospace BAE 146-200 seen flying the skies in 1998. I enjoyed flying on this bird, as the interior was nearly equivalent to a 737. And the #avgeek in me…
Vintage Airline Seat Map: American Airlines DC-10 ‘Standard’ From 1985
I previously posted three other American DC-10s – one from 1977 sporting a “Dining in the Sky†section, another from 1985 in a three-class international configuration, and a high-density coach layout operating to Hawaii. And here now is American’s standard version seen flying the skies in 1985 for this installment of Vintage Airline Seat Maps.…
Vintage Airline Seat Map: USAir Boeing 737-200
With yesterday’s merger announcement between American Airlines and US Airways, I thought it’d be appropriate to feature USAir in this week’s installment of Vintage Airline Seat Maps. Appearing below is a Boeing 737-200 seen flying the skies in 1987. All of my seat maps from that year show USAir operating nothing but single-class aircraft –…
Vintage Airline Seat Map: Northwest Airlines DC-9-10
I’m putting a little narrow-body love out there for this installment of Vintage Airline Seat Maps with a Northwest Airlines DC-9-10. The configuration appearing below was flying the skies in 1987 and seated eight passengers in first class with 70 in coach. Based on the Planespotters.net website, it appears Northwest also had a layout with…
Vintage Airline Seat Map: United Airlines Boeing 767-200 MT
It’s time for another Vintage Airline Seat Map and I’ve selected one of two United Airlines Boeing 767-200 configurations seen flying the skies in 1998. The version appearing below operated domestically (I believe exclusively) as it lacked flight attendant crew rest seats. The other layout I’ll post in a future installment and it had two…
Vintage Airline Seat Map: Delta Air Lines Boeing 757-200
Here’s the original configuration of Delta’s Boeing 757-200 fleet from the 1980s for this installment of Vintage Airline Seat Maps. Many airlines initially offered a split first/coach layout forward of door two on this aircraft, including Delta, Eastern and Northwest. As shown below, Delta had 16 first class and 15 coach seats in this section…
