MUC-TLV flight is only 4 hours though, and exit row seats are only $35 extra. 
I really prefer late departures going to TLV. UA84 gets in too early. UA90 4:30pm arrival is near perfect: check in, grab dinner, catch up on news, and hit the pillow.
Anyway, I imagine UA84/85 will also move to 77W at some point.

90/91 are greatly preferred over 84/85 (to me, and I think most ppl as they are typically priced higher). Its actually bedtime on both so you can get decent sleep (and not waste a day on the return).
I wish AC84/85 were timed later.

4 hours is still painful in the non-XR seats... would be real nice is they had real J in there. Even domestic F seats would be welcome.

UA has 777 pilots in EWR and flight attendants (currently sCO) are qualified to work the 77W. The schedule for UA90/91 is conducive to a SFO-EWR-TLV-EWR-SFO aircraft rotation with the 12:50pm SFO-EWR departure, followed by UA90/91, then the 7:00am 77W EWR-SFO on the way back. The 2nd 77W (AM eastbound/evening westbound) appears to operate as an EWR turn.

Spotted a 77W SFO-EWR routing in early June that I changed to when a schedule change was implemented...was surprised to see it since I thought those runs were ending in March.

Figure since there will be 14 77Ws delivered in the coming months, they'd all run this route for a little while...enjoy! ^

Me too. 90 outbound, 85 return. As good as Polaris seats are, they are no match for a good hotel bed. 11am TLV departure and onboard Internet means I get to work after a good night's sleep, and get home in time for dinner, short convo with family, and another good night's sleep.
