What the??!!! This is an international flight operated by UA! I want to make sure I get a good seat for the 11-hours flight! What can I do? Check back every day?
I noticed the same thing on some TATL flights - no seat map, pure UA metal. Is the only explanation for this change of equipment (seat upgrade, down/upgauge, etc)?
