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=1205&fli ghtDate=9%2F22%2F2013&origin=EWR&destination=SFO
Just change the flight date to match the day of your scheduled flight and then change the origin / destination if 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 (e.g. putting a new/converted p.s. plane entering into service).

Reported this earlier, but it looks like it may have slipped through the cracks: 4022 has the new bins.

N194UA, the charter plane, still has the same somewhat awkward color scheme. A lot of blue and no globe. Here's a link to an article with a photo. (Too lazy to upload my own photo...)

Does anyone have any idea what sort of organizations charter this plane?

737-900 E+ and power but NO IFE and NO WIFI
For the first time today I was on a 737-900 SFO-IAD ...
Very nice plane, fresh look inside, great overhead storage bins ...
But NO IFE (not even audio) and NO WIFI ????? on brand new planes ?????
I can understand the point that nowadays most people travel with their own entertainment (tablets, laptops, smartphones) and that it might be wise to save the cost of a per seat IFE ... but NO WIFI ?!??!!?
I hope this isn't a sign of whats coming ... (even more so on transcon)
UA has been lagging in terms of getting WIFI and I would have thought that newer planes would have come with it .... (while retrofitting the older planes would have taken longer)
Anyone has any insight as to the plan for the 737-900 and WIFI !
Thanks !

WIFI should come eventually but presently UA is converting A3xx (and removing IFE) and 747s. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...-wikipost.html

It drives me insane that UA can't manage to keep these non-IFE birds off the transcons, especially the 'premium' ones like LAX/SFO.
