Probably closer to October 25th... Between paperwork and maintenance stuff which needs to be done, a week to 10 days gets eaten up after delivery.

IAH-LAX 15:37-17:18 UA1209

IAH-EWR 07:30-11:49 UA1146
EWR-IAH 13:50-16:40 UA1602
IAH-SFO 18:40-20:50 UA1435
SFO-IAH 23:50-05:16 UA132

Then the two aircraft meet at IAH between 5:16 and 7:20, at which time they can go back to doing the same route as the previous day or switch routes.

Turnarounds are between 1h29m and 2h04m.

Should be delivered around then.

I just saw the "There has been a schedule change to your reservation" notification for my 787 SFO-IAH flight in December, and it now shows the flight being operated by an A319. Are you saying that if I accept the change, my reservation should show the 787 again?

On the other hand, the same itinerary shows that I have been upgraded to F class on my ERJ145 flight to DAL, so at least I have that to look forward to

Can anyone figure out where the 787 flies after it arrives in SFO on the morning of 11/14. There is no return 787. Another one does IAH-SFO on the 15th but in the late afternoon.

Also on 11/15 where is the aircraft that flies from ORD-IAH coming from?

That is:
UA53 IAH-SFO 8:46a - 11:00a on 11/14, where is the return?

UA1510 ORD-IAH 11:21a - 2:06p on 11/15, where is the inbound coming from?

Look at the schedule (ie, walk through booking a new flight) and see what the equipment actually is for the proposed times of your schedule change.

Thanks.
The flight is still on a 787, so I'm good.
The only "bad" thing is that my IAH-DAL flight changed back to a CRJ700, so I lost the chance to find out what F class on an ERJ145 would be like

Ask for downgrade compensation @:-)

Same flights booked. Same schedule change. Same frustration.

I originally booked flight 1024 EWR-IAH (on the 787), connecting to UA 1707 IAH-PHX (737). The 787 segment changed times by a few minutes (no problem), but also changed flight numbers to 1707 -- the same as my next segment! Will this now be treated as a direct flight so I'll only earn the EWR-PHX miles and one segment, or I will get the EWR-IAH, IAH-PHX miles and two segments? I obviously never book direct-with-stop itineraries, but this one changed on me! To the extent it matters, I'll be crediting the flights to US.

The eticket probably still has two coupons on it, so it would be surprising if they weren't treated as separate flights for all purposes (upgrades, FF crediting even to partners). You should be able to tell if they're listed separately in the reservation, or if they are shown as a single flight "with 1 stop in IAH".

Thanks! When I pull up the PNR on united.com it's listed as two separate flights (with the same flight number), with this in between them: "Change Planes. Connect time in Houston, TX (IAH - Intercontinental) is 1 hr 13 mn."

So it sounds like I should be good, right? Two segments and the separate mileage?

When I had two flights combined into a "direct" flight, I earned miles for each segment.

Looks like the 787 will be flying between IAH - EWR - IAH today. UA7708.
