Right now, there are
21 753s in service with United: 18 are flying in the old configuration, 1 is flying in the new config, and 2 are in the shop for modification. This likely won't change very much in a month, so you probably have about a 3 in 20 chance of seeing the new config.
I guess we got these odds
. has anyone had the pleasure (ha!) of flying the new configuration yet? I leave on Monday and just check and lost my assigned seats and broke up our party - it looks like it’s the new configuration and I don’t know what the heck to pick now!. Selected 15 but worried about the missing window that used to be in 16!
