The Fleet Status site is:

https://sites.google.com/site/unitedfleetsite/

At the site, you can find information about the interior features, livery, etc., for every plane in United's fleet.

To determine which plane your flight will be on go to mobile.united.com and then click on flight status. Put in the flight number for your flight and just have it use today's date (occasionally it'll say flight not operated on this date in which case just choose one of the other 3 dates it lists). In the address bar you'll see something like this:

mobile.united.com/FlightStatus/FlightDetails?carrierCode=UA&flightNumber=1647&fli ghtDate=11%2F30%2F2015&origin=EWR&destination=SFO

https://mobile.united.com/FlightStat...estination=SFO


Just change the flight date to match the day of your scheduled flight and then change the origin / destination as necessary. Once you do that look in the details tab under aircraft # and if they have assigned a plane it'll say something like #3506 and the type of plane. Once you know that go to the United Fleet website listed above and cross-reference the four digit number against the "aircraft" column under the appropriate aircraft type.

Keep in mind that things change as they get closer and sometimes either they won't have assigned an aircraft yet or it'll be assigned #0 if it's a few days away and they are anticipating aircraft movement.

You may also check the specific fleet variant of each flight at the United Cargo site under "Schedules & tracking". This data tends to be reliable starting 7 days in advance, but is always subject to change.

Thank you!! I've seen the SFP on the app over the past few months when checking the tail number for my flight.

I guess it's meant to help with greater MLW and MTW at airports with severely short runways?

Thank you for the explanation ^ and I guess if United ever brought mainline svc back to BUR, this aircraft would be a perfect fit

For the record, here is a webpage with SFP info. Looks like all 739ERs in UA fleet and 738s after aircraft 3506 have SFP.

Looks like UA got on the SFP bandwagon early, I didn't know that, interesting that it wasn't worth a retrofit however. Funny that the package is "standard" on the 739ER (I would argue "required" given the underwhelming performance of the 739 types).

It looks like 73G N27734 has had the E+ conversion in Guam last week, which would mean all of the Guam 73Gs now have E+

Ugh.

I don't see 77G in the Wiki... Is 77G just a converted 77A?

77A are the sCO 772's right? So, from 50 BF to 28 BF? WoW

Or is 77G the Hawaiian?
