The Fleet Status site is:

https://sites.google.com/site/unitedfleetsite/

At the site, you can find information about the interior features, livery, etc., for every plane in United's fleet.

To determine which plane your flight will be on go to mobile.united.com and then click on flight status. Put in the flight number for your flight and just have it use today's date (occasionally it'll say flight not operated on this date in which case just choose one of the other 3 dates it lists). In the address bar you'll see something like this:

mobile.united.com/FlightStatus/FlightDetails?carrierCode=UA&flightNumber=1205&fli ghtDate=9%2F22%2F2013&origin=EWR&destination=SFO

Just change the flight date to match the day of your scheduled flight and then change the origin / destination if necessary. Once you do that look in the details tab under aircraft # and if they have assigned a plane it'll say something like #3506 and the type of plane. Once you know that go to the United Fleet website listed above and cross-reference the four digit number against the "aircraft" column under the appropriate aircraft type.

Keep in mind that things change as they get closer and sometimes either they won't have assigned an aircraft yet or it'll be assigned #0 if it's a few days away and they are anticipating aircraft movement (e.g. putting a new/converted p.s. plane entering into service).

Thanks!! very interesting.

Do you know if UA will be adding winglets to the birds that don't have them (given the long flights they do, it would make sense to do so)? Also, is UA going to do ETOPS conversions to any of these AC while they are in for the PS mods?

Not sure if this is the appropriate place to write this, but I just saw a blue tulip'd United 763 land at HNL...I thought these were all but gone at this point. Turns out it was 6449 coming in from SFO...it was nice to see. ^

If a flight in a few months is showing as a 20F 738, is this indicative of a plane that won't have Directv, or do they not now which version of 738 will be operating a flight until closer to the departure?

I've had the 738s change on me a few days before departure (like a non-E+ aircraft to an E+ aircraft). I've also had them change the aircraft on me (like a 739 to a 757). It's not really guaranteed which plane you will get.

It's not guaranteed even once you're on a plane, as they may have people leave because of mechanical reasons. (Truth is, it aint guaranteed even after you took off because they can turn the plane around for mechanical reasons, though if that happens, I'd be a lot more worried than my seat.)

Does anyone know if the 747s in PEK are getting WIFI and wireless streaming video? If not, does anyone know where and when they will be getting them?
