Version 1 is no longer in service (12 Feb 2017).
Note: This Wiki and thread is devoted to the pmUA 3-Cabin 777 Version 1. There is a second thread, and more extensive Wiki about both planes, in the Wiki and thread on Version 2. This thread should be used for discussion of Version 1, although older posts may refer to Version 2 (they were split 8/30/14).

How can you tell from seat map which version you're on? Look at the seat map image below - if it's this, you're on Version 1
Version 1 vs. Version 2
There are two version of the international 3-class pmUA airplane.
"Version 1" on the United website has 8 First, 40 Business, and 218 coach seats. (no longer in service)
"Version21" has 8 First, 40 Business, and 221 coach seats. (formerly Version 2 is now Version 1).
One unique attribute of Version 1 was the crew rest seats at the back of the E+ cabin in the middle section of Rows 29 and 30 (seats DEG). On most flights these seats were curtained off and dedicated for use by the crew. However, they were sometimes available when these planes were used on shorter routes and there was no need for crew rest. They provided much better legroom and footrests.

Fixed bassinets were available in economy 19G, 34G -- none in BF or GF.

Any chance of being bumped from 20 A/B or 20 J/K because of a need for bassinet space?

Global first ord-gru. Which seats for a couple on their honeymoon?
We're flying ord-gru in October. We are on a 777-200 flying in global first. Which seats are best for newlyweds so they can talk and be reasonably close to each other?

Actually 2 window seats are better. One can just walk over to the other seat and sit on the ottoman to chat.
Unless they really wanna be seeing each other the whole time.

In those lousy business middle seats - if the person on the side is sleeping/flat - do you need to step on them to get out?

Middle seat in J/C
On an upcoming flight, I see three seat choices (including one I'm in): 6D, 8G and 10G. Aggregating the information from 3 sites (seatguru.com, seatexpert.com and airlineexpert.com from this thread) makes me think that amongst the middle seats in the J/C cabin, row 6 is the best with row 8 the worst. But do I have that correct?
I opted for row 10 due to the forward facing seats, but not sure if row 6 is better in spite of the direction the seat faces. I know the plane pitches up slightly so your head is in a decline slope in a forward-facing seat, but I'm still not that used to facing rearward.
Does row 8 really have that much foot traffic and noise from the galley/lavs?

The 777 exit row seats are quite pleasant.

Sitting in 20A and then 20K on UA870/839
Is there enough room to get out to the aisle without having to ask the aisle seat person to get up?
Also is there a pocket on the bulkhead to stash a few small things in (passport, iPod etc) during take off/landing whilst my carry on bag is in the overhead?

Row 10?
What is row 10 like compared to the rest of J? Is there much disturbance from the Y cabin?
