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.

Was on 4857 earlier today, noticed the equipment N876CA-Q300 has 358 painted on the plane, but they already have Q200-N358PH in its fleet.
That's probably an internal number and is not reg#, but looks like most of the mainline and other UAx planes have the either 4-digit or 3-digit number consistent with their reg#

Any historical reason for the numbering?

358 is actually the Commutair fleet number for N876CA. Commutair has fleet numbers that have no relation to the tail number. FYI the Commutair fleet number for N358PH is 775.

United is looking to renegotiate the pilots contract and as part of that is looking at a purchase of the new Bombardier C-Series or Embraer E2 series (E2-19x) to add a new narrow body to the fleet.

No word on the size of the potential order or potential delivery dates
