Interesting. Does this mean I can book with confidence for a trip (in J) in September 2022 (SFO-MUC) that typically flies on a 789? I'm not a regular UA flyer, so I'm not sure how much to trust their planning process.

And if I do book, is there a simple way to understand what seat I should book on the old Polaris 789 to ensure I get reseated in a desirable (window) seat on the updated 789?
