Tomorrow I'm booked on a ua f flight to Ord out of lhr. First international f flight on ua since pre merger and first f flight in the new f. Anything I can expect? Anything to do while on the ground? I'm assuming they don't offer car transport.
Rows 13 and 14 are crew rest seats. I haven't flown F on these birds since before they were refurbished, but I understand they're much improved in every way. The 1 + 1 + 1 configuration seems ideal for privacy and convenience, unless you're travelling together.
No car service indeed... there's the dedicated check-in area and the F section of the *A lounge. That's all, as far as I know.

Correct. Like E++ (they're economy seats but have footrests). I have flown it since the the reconfig, and liked it a lot.

This is the standard seatmap for sUA IPTE 767s, at least at a glance. Been around for a long time.

Correct. Specifically for tomorrow:
UA 929 is N654UA
UA 949 is N647UA
UA 959 is N653UA
All IPTE (as are all the rest of the 3-class sUA 767s).
The answer to the OP's question is that you can expect a nice seat. Everything else is pretty much the same as business class. And you can use the first class lounge in Heathrow and in Chicago if you want.

Well the good news is the 763 F cabin is arguably the best in the fleet. If you can score 1k/2k on the right side of the aircraft, you'all experience total privacy and isolation, as there's a literal large wall partitioning off the middle row to the left.

The IPTE 763 is my favorite bird for F and C.
Forgive my ignorance but what does IPTE stand for? Thanks

And soup as an extra course.
I find the F seat on the 767 very comfortable — infinitely more comfortable than the business seat. Even 1/2C feel reasonably private, since you can cozy up to the big wall right next to you and 1/2A are a distance away.
F on the 777 feels less private and more constricted to me.
There are a few FAs (mostly ex-PA, I suspect) who still go out of their way to make F special. Last time I was in F on a 767 (pre-refurbishment), there was a great London-based purser whose nice little service touches included chilling the shrimp utensils in an iced water bucket with some dry ice thrown in.

Here here. You should not be disappointed by the seat in F on the 767, and yeah, the K seats rock, if you are traveling alone. 2K is usually crew rest (but I've had it twice now on shorter domestic flights where they open it up to pax.
The rest of the seats aren't bad, they just don't have the privacy on the K seats.
