While I appreciate the extra 4 BF Seats, I think (and so do several FA's I discussed it with) that they should have left one of the Forwards Lavs.

I recently flew EWR-MXP on the B764 - from my seat in row 34 (E- behind the block of lavs at door 3L/R), things didn't seem that bad. The purser did announce a request to respect the rope dividing the cabin (which sounded like more than the "please use the lavatory in your ticketed cabin" anouncement). The F/As that I spoke with in the rear galley didn't seem too happy that lavs were removed to accommodate extra seats.

In my opinion, things would have been worse in the days when everyone watched the same movie together - the queues got quite bad when the credits rolled. Now, with AVOD, lav use is more distributed throughout the flight.

There are 6 lavs total. 2 at doors 2L/2R and 4 at doors 3L/3R. The lavs at door 2 are for BF customers, and the 4 lavs at door 3 are for Y customers.

True that there were two different 767-400s although only the 35-seater in CO parlance was "764"; the 20-seater was the "76H".

Are all the 76Hs getting converted to the same 39-203 config as the 764s? United web site still shows the old 20-236 76H as "Version 2" ...

EDIT: Fleet update thread link shows all the 76Hs converted (last one in shop now), so I guess UA.com will be updated soon to delete Version 2.
