UAlover7...Personally, I've never received an amenity kit on a United transcon. Only on international flights. The rest of the list is pretty accurate if your aircraft has the new seats.

Totally agree with QuietLion that the 767 is one of the worst widebodies, IMHO. Not so "wide" body and low ceiling give this a very cramped feel, and Business feels like Economy Plus to me on these, new seats or not.

zrs70 questions:
Is transon in C really worse than in F on a two class?
I think that depends what you want. I think the seats and space in 3-Class Business is better than 2-Class First. But the service and meal presentation is better in 2-Class First, IMHO. I think this has to do with Business Class being designed for, well, Business travelers. Business travelers who are more likely to want to just get the meal over with so they can get to sleep or work. In Business your entire meal (appitizer, main and dessert) is usually brought all on one tray.

In 2-Class First, the service seems to be more "First Class" with each course being brought separately, and on some flights even the famous United Ice Cream Sundae Cart.

So for me (I can't sleep on planes and love the attention) I prefer the 2-Class First. But if you can/need to sleep or work on your flight, I would suggest 3-Class Business.
