These are typically the 321s so seats are typically in good condition. Have been struggling with decision whether to use GGUs given that the presence of U this far out likely means I get the upgrade anyhow as a Gold on this route.. Either way, nice to see U available on transcon routes in advance.

Thanks for the datapoint, be_rettSEA. It appears DCA-LAX goes from an A32S to a 73H (737-800) beginning 8/27. I'm seeing at least U1 on most DCA-LAX flights after that date. I just snagged U space for a flight in early September. The K fare on this route is $244 one-way.
