IAD to MUC on UA 902 (1/10/2011)
Per everyone's advice here, I checked UnitedCargo for aircraft type on UA 902 on 1/10/2011 (I'm scheduled to be on that flight).
It has a blank aircraft type.
From DEN to IAD, it is showing 777. But IAD to MUC is blank...
I checked other days and IAD to MUC is usually the 777 config (not the coveted 77Q).
Anybody want to hazard a guess why that field is blank on that day and what equipment I might be lucky enough to fly on??
Thanks!!

Now, goalie-parents VDB'd onto 902 DEN-IAD today (1/4) and I thought I saw 77Q on flightschedule but I'll need to hear back from them later tonight after they arrive in MIA

Seems like the new LAX-PVG route is using the new 777 as well.
The route is practically empty right now. lol

any chance that IAD-NRT could be getting the new config soon. I'm new to UA, but have a trip to NRT planned at the end of Feb.. I'm working with my travel dept to try to route through Chicago but IAD is cheaper...

I noticed the SFO-KIX route used to be shown here as one of the flights with the new a/c.
http://www.suitedreams.united.com/
However, they pulled that flight (885)
I am scheduled for January 14. Presently, the seat map still shows the new config.
I hope it stays the same.
I certainly wonder why they removed that flight from the permanent list

Now my question is that I have row 6 assigned on B777 which does not exist.
Any thoughts with what I should do with my seat assignment?
It would be nice if they would move me to F class since my seat does not exist in C class
At what point does .bomb mirror UnitedCargo.com as far as 77Q vs. B777 a/c assignment?
I am three days out with .com showing 77Q and cargo showing B777.
Will it match up tomorrow? Thursday? Never?
