June 30 UA951 BRU-IAD was subbed with 777 300ER just 2 days before flight and I upgraded to try Polaris seat for first time. BRU ground staff announced that it was first time for that aircraft at BRU. Good to see UA sending the aircraft to various hubs so more folks get to try it. Loved the Polaris seat!

Seems like LAX and DEN will be the only hubs not to see it anytime soon...

Not sure about LAX but I believe the 77W has been on SFO-DEN-SFO at least once.

Not reflected in the schedule change yet but SFO-SYD should be operated by a 77W by November 1st.

IAD-MUC was a 77W on July 1st. I wasn't on it, but I saw it holding for the runway and was curious.

I wonder if one is doing a couple of Europe turns? I would not be happy if I were in the back and one of these was subbed in.

Fantastic. Didn't see this coming. Thanks for the heads up
Doubt we will ever see it in Melbourne, so I'll transit through Syd once it starts

8 routes so far (LHR takes 77W from TPE, otherwise it would be 9) how many more can the 77W handle with 14 frames?

it will be 18 frames once it is all done.

I know it is a long shot, I am thinking if ORD may get the 4 additional frames UA just ordered to run NRT/HKG.

Right but that's not until 3rd and 4th quarter 2018, whereas we get the first 14 by... August-ish? So I guess my intent of my question was how many routes can they cater to? How many more are left to be revealed?

You shouldn't count the first one, which is EWR-SFO...Then it will be 7 routes, which make sense.
