What is UFC ? (United first class ... probably not judging by the context)

Seems that going the E+ route is the way to go.

Also, I just want to confirm, so when I book this trip with miles (hoping i can), I'll stll be able to select E+ seats because I'm 2p right? I've got the 60k miles - no problem there.

Finally, the last two years I booked this trip, two years ago my dad bought me the trip with miles as a graduation gift - was from toronto (yyz maybe?) - PVG - Air Canada. The flight was 1/3 full and had an entire row to myself. Not too shabby! (though flight was 10 hours delayed)

Last year, I booked it via Air China, SFO - PEK - and it was about 2/3 full. No one next to me - huzzah!

So my question is, on United, are flights generally, full, half, 2/3 what's your experience for SFO - PEK or SFO - PVG. (I'll go to both cities, still deciding which to go to first) I know i'll get the consulting answer of "it depends" or the better consulting answer of "it depends, because ..." - but if you guys can tell me your experiences that would be great!
