Boeing 767-300ER Best Seats Guide 2026

The Boeing 767-300ER is a medium-wide-body that pioneered transatlantic service. Its 2-3-2 economy layout is notably more comfortable than the 777's 3-4-3 — only 7 seats across means wider seats and no 4-wide center block. Delta and United operate large 767-300ER fleets on transatlantic routes.

Seat Configuration

Cabin	Layout	Pitch	Width
Business/Delta One	1-2-1	74–78 in lie-flat	21–22 in
Economy	2-3-2	31–33 in	17–19 in

Best Seats on the Boeing 767-300ER

Economy window seats A & G (2-seat outer sections)
767's 2-3-2 means the outer sections only have 2 seats. Window seat A or G gives you just one neighbor — much better than the 777's 3-seat outer window section.
Economy aisle seats B & F
Aisle seats in the 2-seat outer sections give you easy aisle access with only one neighbor. Best economy seats for passengers who want to move freely.
Exit row seats
767 exit rows offer 38–42 in of pitch on transatlantic routes.

Seats to Avoid on the Boeing 767-300ER

Center 3-pack middle seat (seat E in D-E-F)
The 767's center section is only 3 seats, so the middle (E) has two neighbors but is less terrible than 777 center seats. Still avoid if possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 767-300ER good for transatlantic flights?

Yes — the 2-3-2 layout means 7 seats across rather than 10, and all economy seats are wider. Delta and United's 767s on transatlantic routes are consistently well-regarded for economy comfort relative to 777 alternatives.
