I'm so excited about the 787! I just bought my first class ticket for mid-November!

Is it odd that the system won't let me choose my seat? It says "Reaccomodation Pending - try again later." I bought the ticket online via united.com.

Grabbed some award tix in BF! Also got accommodation pending.

CDKing

The schedule changes always show that until Saturday morning. I booked Y award ORD-IAH on 11/4. With my luck i will misconnnect BOS-ORD.

zrs70

I booked seats this morning. Now changed to the 787!

ERQTraveler

Hmmm. I bought 2 seats on the same ticket. My friend and I want to sit together. Do you think the system will automatically seat us together? Can customer service assign seats?

My apologies for basic questions. I don't usually fly United and have no status.

Thanks!

I've grabbed UA 1209 on 4NOV. Now I've got 24 hours to see whether it'll actually work or not.

CDKing

Tomorrow seat selection will be available, or a few hours from now depending on time zone Im sure you will be fine. If worst comes to worst and you cant get adjoining seats (I doubt it will be a problem) you have 24 hours from purchase to cancel for refund. Weekly schedule changes get loaded this time every week and no one regardless of elite status can make seat changes on most flights for a few hours

Press release says EWR-IAH is 3:30 pm. That's a big difference! (And big fare difference on 12/30.) I wonder why it changed.

EWR764

Same here. I bought a ticket earlier today based on the projected schedule, but the actual plan seems to have been tweaked quite a bit. I requested a change and the ticket seems to have reissued but still can't assign seats on the 787 legs.

Maybe the seatmaps haven't been loaded yet? I notice most domestic 787 flights presently have have wide I/N/R availability, FWIW.

Looks like the first rotation for one ship is:

UA1146 IAH - EWR 8:08a 12:27p
UA1602 EWR - IAH 1:50p 4:40p
UA1435 IAH - SFO 5:53p 8:03p
UA1553 SFO - IAH 12:15a 5:41a
rinse, repeat 5x

The 3:10pm departure (usually a 764) arrives IAH after 6pm, which would be too late to fit that schedule.

cactus47

You're right. I wonder why the press release said 3:30 for EWR-IAH. Odd.

CDKing

Its typical for the schedule change times from Friday night to early Saturday morning to not see seat assignments or to make seating changes.

Semi OT but I was so psyched for schedule changes, i just noticed 2 of my non 787 related trips now have my first dreaded flight arrives after the next one leaves Grrrrrrrrrr

ERQTraveler

I reviewed my ticket details, and it says "757-300" as aircraft and "Purchase" for meal. I know I specifically saw 787-8 Dreamliner and United First when purchasing the ticket. My flights are UA1694 and UA1209. Fare class is P.

So do I really have tickets for 787 in First? Why the discrepancy?

Also, do I have access to the club at LAX and IAH?
