At ORD you definitely need to switch terminals using a landside train (assuming the train modernization project is finally complete by April 2022), and at EWR there is a chance you would need to make a similar switch (the customs area at terminal C is currently closed due to reduced traffic, and even when it is open some UA international flights arrive at terminal B due to gate constraints).
I did see this flight. My only concern is that Seat Guru shows a 4 class 772 with Polaris being 2-4-2 with some having the backward facing seats. I know that Seat Guru isn't always accurate, but I would hate to be on this aircraft. If it was the upgraded, I would definently be interested. It does show the upgraded configuration on United's site for this flight so guessing I should trust that more than Seat Guru. Plus wondering if 1 hour 45 minutes may be tight for our connect back to PHX. Thank you
