Wife and I are on 767-300 new config 2 class (30 lie flat business class seats) EWR-IST and return (UA Flt 904/905) in October.
We are in coach, in row 21 A/B. Seatguru shows limited recline. Anyone been in these seats and can confirm (how bad is it?)
All the economy plus A/B and L/K seats are taken. Should we switch to center section for more comfort (recline)?
Can anyone confirm that row 22D/E/F are economy plus? Seatguru shows them as regular economy but UA shows them as E+
thanks.
BTW when we bought the ticket is was a 3 class 767

They are revenue sharing with LH on the route, so the 744 EWR-FRA and 744/A380 JFK-FRA might as well be UA flights too. The 757 seems a bit strange, but transatlantic capacity decisions are made jointly with the JV partners.
As for the 764, in the new configuration it has 242 seats, only 24 fewer than the three cabin 777. It's a fairly high-capacity a/c.

I guess, I'll stick with IAD-FRA for the time being.

BTW, the super-early TATL flights are absolutely horrible... arrival in FRA is before midnight East Coast time. They should call them 'Jetlag Specials'!

While UA is now anti-consumer, there's just no way they're going to fly a domestic config plane on a 5,000 mile route. I wouldn't worry about it.

UA 119 EWR-FRA November 4
I flew on UA119 last night and it is indeed the Hawaiin-configured plane. Even the FAs were confused when directing the people to their seats because of the different configuration. I was told by an FA that they are using the plane for the next month which is unfortunate as the plane has a cramped feeling compared to the 764ER that CO uses. I hope this helps.

Flew in 18 A/B from EWR-IST and there is LOTS of extra legroom. Very comfortable. We were upgraded (GPU) on the return but the flight was cancelled due to Sandy, but that is another (long) story. Fortunately we got home ok.
