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.

Catching up after a vacation.
Found $757 fare to PVG yesterday that has 747 from SFO to PVG.
I may be able to to suck it up in back in exit row IF there is juice for my laptop
How many 747s have power, and more importantly, how many will have it on March 10?
I can easily spare 20K miles for u/g, but the $600 copay is a lot of money. Not that there is R space right now anyway. And don't expect lightling to strike twice, as the only other time I flew this route I got an op up
THE only one ever on UA as MM 
Dreamliner via LAX on the way back, so would probably suck it up in exit row.

15/24 listed as having power. United Mainline Fleet.
Wish I knew about those, as I'd take HKG over PVG anyday @:-)
Then again, are those ex DFW? Probably not. Still happy with one change of plane for $757, when UAL.com shows $1,050.
Oh well, two visits to Shanghai, two visits to Hong Kong, guess this will be tiebreaker.
And a chance to finally ride Maglev train from the airport

15/24 listed as having power. United Mainline Fleet.There are some equally cheap fares to HKG and SIN right now.
I will also point out that the mod seems to take a couple weeks and they've been pretty good about having at 1~2 birds in mod (including one that's likely been there for a week). At that clip they could finish 3 birds before Golden Week (dropping the number further). Depending on how quickly they start back up in March I would say there's a decent chance there's only 1 or 2 non ISP birds in circulation, possibly none.
EDIT:
Just found confirmation that 2 of those three are in XMN (were listed on Bunky's sheet for ISP install too)
http://www.flightradar24.com/data/ai...119ua/#563d95e
http://www.flightradar24.com/data/ai...122ua/#5660c86
N120UA (also listed for ISP install) hasn't flown scheduled service since the 18th (too far back for flight radar history) so it's actually the one I was most certain was there.
Edit2:
Should have known... the actual site always has the best info (Bunky posted it, just not here):

Lot's of checking for 2100 range flight numbers on united.com.
I try to post everything here, but I don't post non mod related narrowbody movements and posts here are summarized on the Fleet website.

Some fleet info for the upcoming year and next year:
The two hand-me-down 73Gs joining the fleet will have tail #s 751 & 752.
The 739ER fleet will go up to tail #849 then skip to #880 and go from there.
The 76T fleet will be converted to the 756 fleet and United has made the decision to retain 35 763 aircraft. These aircraft will be reconfigured to fly summer 2016 as aircraft belonging to the 756 fleet. 76T pilots will become 756 qualified between now and summer 2016. The other legacy 76Ts will leave the fleet rather quickly and we anticipate flying a very limited number of them in 2016. Remaining sUA 752s will be the 15 PS 752s by YE 2016.

Is this saying that the 3-cabin config will be retrofit to the 2-cabin on the 21 current 3-cabin planes? Or is the "conversion" about flight deck stuff for the pilots to be able to operate them with the common type-rating as the other 75s and 76s?
Also, if 35 763s are being kept and the numbers show only 35 in the fleet now what are being retired?

It is my understanding that the 3-cabin 763s will be modified to to the current 763 2-cabin configuration.
756 is LCAL 757 & 764 fleet
76T is LUAL 757 & 763 fleet
In addition to 76T pilots merging into the 756 fleet; the company has also announced that an IAD 737 pilot base will open with the July 2015 bid month.
