https://thepointsguy.com/news/united...aris-retrofit/
Highlights:
- 788 to go from J36 to J28 and add W21; they'll primarily be used on leisure flights (whether that actually plays out remains to be seen).
- 789 to maintain J48 and add W21.
- First 788 expected to be done in December 2019.
- First 789 expected to be done in "early 2020".
New information to me, and the seat maps are nice to look at.
There will also be additional 787-9 delivered in 2020 already outfitted with the Polaris seats (it’s mentioned in wiki but not in article)
787-9 is good news. 787-8 is meh, but will be interesting to see the exact routes they go on.
