United playing musical chairs for NRT configurations!
First they remove one of the 747 configurations (March 30, 2013), now my flight to Singapore from NRT is a 777-200 with no first class! Called to request refund and she was surprised to see a non-first class flight on that route as well.
Any one else see this new configuration? This is UA7 NRT to SIN (April 7th).

Even the flight numbers are whack. Why bother merging if cannot commingle anything but the bad stuff (like the coffee, or 737s)

Make it 8xx is what I am saying. Or align sUA 8xx to a new scheme. There used to be some consistency of 9xx Europe and 8xx Asia/Pacufic. Now it is all over the place.

But since it will be sCO 777 operating the NRT - SIN flight, The flight # would have to fall under the sCO half of the flight number system.

Besides, on my list of things I care about when flying or choosing an airline, flight numbering scheme ranks pretty close to, if not right at, the bottom, and I'm sure for many, ranks below the bottom.

Also, NH operates flight 6 out of NRT-USA, more confusion that can be easily avoided.

Wrong. UA 1 will be an SCO 764. Any flight # falling in the 1-199 & 1000-1799 range will operated by sCO. 763 is only on the sUA side and will be under the 200-999 flight # range.

Equipment / Route question: NRT - SIN
I was reviewing this routing for an upcoming trip. It has been since Sept. since I flew IAH - NRT - SIN, but it seems the flight number is now UA7 straight through. Are they using the pmCO 777-200 in BF configuration from NRT - SIN now? Itinerary says plane change, but it shows the BF configuration instead of the UA Business configuration to SIN. Is that the case now?
