I hope I posted in the right forum, but was curious about united p.s. I have flown united p.s. from jfk a handful of time in business/first. I will now be flying on united 757-200 from ewr to lax. The first seats are the lie flat. I was wondering if anyone has flown this router before and if this is just an internationally configured 757 or if it is a new p.s. route from united.
Thanks,

First off, welcome to Flyertalk ^
True PS service is to/from JFK to SFO and LAX so what you're on EWR-LAX is a PMCO (Pre Merger Continental) internationally configured 757 and they fly every so often on domestic routes (and always nice when you get one
)
A quick key to which type of 757 you're one until the fleet and crews are fully integrated is this:
PMUA (Pre Merger United)
All 757-200's, 3 digit flight numbers and all non JFK-SFO/LAX flights will be std domestic first non-lie flat seats.
PMCO:
4 digit flight numbers and 757-200's are internationally configured with lie flat seats. 757-300's are std domestic non-lie flat seats
Now with that being said, there are always last minute 757 aircraft swaps so you might on a PMCO 757-300 where it swaps to a lie-flat 757-200 ^ or a PMUA 757-200 non PS which swaps to the PS ^ version or vice versa for both
so it's always good to check the seat maps as you get closer to departure time and then again when you check in
