Version 1 is no longer in service (12 Feb 2017).
Note: This Wiki and thread is devoted to the pmUA 3-Cabin 777 Version 1. There is a second thread, and more extensive Wiki about both planes, in the Wiki and thread on Version 2. This thread should be used for discussion of Version 1, although older posts may refer to Version 2 (they were split 8/30/14).

And, if you're looking for the thread about pmCO 777, it's here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/united-airlines-mileageplus/1475682-everything-you-want-know-about-where-sit-pmco-777-international-5.html
How can you tell from seat map which version you're on? Look at the seat map image below - if it's this, you're on Version 1
Version 1 vs. Version 2
There are two version of the international 3-class pmUA airplane.
"Version 1" on the United website has 8 First, 40 Business, and 218 coach seats. (no longer in service)
"Version21" has 8 First, 40 Business, and 221 coach seats. (formerly Version 2 is now Version 1).
One unique attribute of Version 1 was the crew rest seats at the back of the E+ cabin in the middle section of Rows 29 and 30 (seats DEG). On most flights these seats were curtained off and dedicated for use by the crew. However, they were sometimes available when these planes were used on shorter routes and there was no need for crew rest. They provided much better legroom and footrests.

Fixed bassinets were available in economy 19G, 34G -- none in BF or GF.

Definitely not seeing anything that resembles power in these seats.... is it just going to be E+ that has power?? In which case Row 33 which is the Exit row and is considered E- would not have power, which would mean there isn't 1 good seat on this new configuration as the 2 - 2 seats in E+ probably have limited recline.....
Please tell me that we are just not seeing the hidden power switches and UA didn't screw this up......
Anyone else noticing that the seat map that was online shows 44AB and 45AB as a 2 seat section, but in this picture its 3 seats ABC?
31 does look to be 2 seats though on eac side.
I mean I hate to say it, but it still looks like a boring plane, I know UA is excited about it, as made obvious by their posting the Y- Cabin, but honestly it looks like the same boring seats in a new crappier configuration AND with United's typical problem of a broken seat in row 39.

No footrests it appears. The removal of those control boxes helps make up for it.
Other than that I like it.
Where are the lighting/FA call button controls?

It's really weird to see 3x3x3 on a UA bird, no?

Heres a step in trying to become even with CO and the 3-3-3 layout of the 777. Looks Great! Will the Domestic 777's get these AVOD's as well?

Okay - I'll admit I'm not an expert on things like this, but if you look at the very first row in the first picture, you can see controls for that seat. Does one of those look like an AC plug?
I'm sorry I don't know the seat numbering system well enough to say specifically which seat number it is.
