Probably won't mean any changes to the other gates on C-1/C-2 which are 777-capable now. I believe the initial plan is to do two gates at the far end of C-3... I knew which ones they are at one point, but forgot. I want to say maybe 137/138, in that area.
No word on timing but I know it's in the works. It would be a similar situation to other UA hubs, where dual-bridge boarding is used for 777/747 if the gates are equipped for it, but that won't stop 777s and others from being handled at other gates which can accommodate aircraft of that size.

The former WorldClub space is vacant but I doubt there will ever be enough UA volume in B-1 to justify leasing/operating a lounge there, especially without the prospect of any partner traffic.
