Routes with 3-class aircraft in alphabetical order. List focuses on long haul/international.

EWR-GRU (3-class 772; looks to be until end of October)
EWR-GVA (3-class 763 - perhaps only for the summer? I flew this as a 2-class bird early last year in the winter)

What routes still have 3-class aircraft with GF / PF??
Is there a list of routes which features UA's Polaris First (old global first) seats?
I know that 744 routes have them but it I don't know which 772 & 763 routes have it.

Three Class Routes to Europe from EWR
I was wondering if there is any way to locate all routes by class from a specific originating location short of going city by city. The wife wants to head to Europe and I wanted to see what cities are served from EWR that offer United First/Polaris.

Any help would be appreciated.

Google Flights is your friend! It takes a bit of work to get the parameters worked out, but you should be able to just alter the dates on the below link and you can find all the routes that have first class available (as of today).

Only the sUA / 3-class 772 & 763, have GF/PF.
On http://www.unitedcargo.com/ you will find "Widebody Schedule" presently for Mar 2017
There is a thread on http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...ic-routes.html

But none of those are exactly what you want.

This might be sounds like a good new thread topic.

You sure that is complete? It only shows FRA, HAM, and GVA...clearly missing LHR (which almost always has some 3-class 763s servicing it).

That said, I am surprised that they are putting 3-class birds to HAM and GVA, neither of which are high-volume routes for UA (as far as I am aware). I am hoping there is a reasonable upfare that can get me from J to F on my HAM flight...can't imagine a lot of folks who are going to buy that outright (or even buy J outright and use upgrades, which currently shows ON2).

Google Flights is probably the best way to find these. We know that the 3-class birds only originate in EWR, IAD, SFO, and ORD and head to either Asia, NZ, Europe, or GRU. You can find the routes by messing with the parameters in Google Flights. For example:

It should be. Perhaps the LHR flights are all 2-class on those random dates selected? Try playing with the dates to see if that changes.

I tried the default dates on your link (July 7) and looked up EWR-LHR on UA...had at least one sUA 763 flying it.

Great suggestion with Google Flights. Google really does search well.

*edit: I started the wiki with 744 routes I know of.

I am on 6/9 flight from FCO-IAD that just went from a 3 class 767 to 777. I am bummed about it because I went from 2 across in Y to 3 across...

FWIW, the July 7th EWR-LHR flights are now showing all 2-class birds. Perhaps Google was ahead of .bomb?
