I don't know about Orbitz or Travelocity, but the key to getting E+ seats (if you are Premier) when booking on Expedia is to NOT select specific seats, then when you are ticketed, UA will automatically assign you E+ seats (either window or aisle, depending on what's in your M+ profile). I sometimes find better fares on Expedia when its availability is out of sync with united.com</font>
In any case, if you use Expedia or Travelocity, you might as well just call UA reservations after you book the trip to assign exact seats anyway, rather than chance the random seat assignment by UA.
