UA 78 Plane change and seat selection
Apparenty, CO is changing the plane from HKG to NRT in the near future. I am on this fight Feb 14. It is a 'Through Flight' continuing on to EWR. The first segment was a 738, The 1K agent I spoke to said he spoke to the airport and that they were changing the plane but did not know to what. Meanwhile, I am locked out of selecting a seat on the continuing NRT-EWR plane as well. My wife is on the same flight under a different conf# and does have assigned seats on both segments. Mine apparently disappeared and now I am in limbo. Any idea how long it takes to make these changes? IT appears the only thing that can be done is to check on line and/call UA daily?

I am sorry to hear about your situation.
I am excited to hear they might be changing the equipment between HongKong and Narita, and v.v. hoping it might be to a larger aircraft. I am, however, not holding my breath that this information is correct.

I'm on the same flight, and my seat assignments for that and associated flights are messed up as well. The CO plane does not have Economy Plus seating, and since the entire fleet has almost been converted, by guess is that the plane is being changed either to one that has EP, or to a different aircraft altogether.
