The Fleet Status site is:
https://sites.google.com/site/unitedfleetsite/
At the site, you can find information about the interior features, livery, etc., for every plane in United's fleet.
To determine which plane your flight will be on go to mobile.united.com and then click on flight status. Put in the flight number for your flight and just have it use today's date (occasionally it'll say flight not operated on this date in which case just choose one of the other 3 dates it lists). In the address bar you'll see something like this:
mobile.united.com/FlightStatus/FlightDetails?carrierCode=UA&flightNumber=1205&fli ghtDate=9%2F22%2F2013&origin=EWR&destination=SFO
Just change the flight date to match the day of your scheduled flight and then change the origin / destination if necessary. Once you do that look in the details tab under aircraft # and if they have assigned a plane it'll say something like #3506 and the type of plane. Once you know that go to the United Fleet website listed above and cross-reference the four digit number against the "aircraft" column under the appropriate aircraft type.
Keep in mind that things change as they get closer and sometimes either they won't have assigned an aircraft yet or it'll be assigned #0 if it's a few days away and they are anticipating aircraft movement (e.g. putting a new/converted p.s. plane entering into service).

The United Airlines Fleet
Hello Fellow FlyerTalkers!
I have created this thread for those of you who would like to track the United Airlines fleet upgrade process: IFE, seat upgrades, class upgrades, E+ being added to PMCO aircraft, aircraft painting or anything related to the United and Continental fleet, this is the right thread! I have created a website to track it in an easier format. I will update it on weekends and on Wed or Thursdays, and to see what I updated can be found on the Welcome Page.
https://sites.google.com/site/unitedfleetsite/home
Sit back, relax and enjoy the test flight!
FOR any comments, suggestions, errors or questions please leave them on this thread and I will reply ASAP.
THANKS!

What kind of Y is going into the UA 763 domestic? BF in front, what kind of Y in the back? Specifically IFE and seat type?

From the fleet plan 3 will be retired in the 2 quarter and two others will be retired in the 4 quarter of this year. Right now there are only 8. I am not sure which one's will be retired first.

No problem. If you have any questions please let me know.
Right: I have to figure out which 737-800's have which type of IFE. Some have DirectTv, but some don't have any. I will get that fixed by Saturday. I will post the repaint information in the first post. Great Idea!

Regardless, I assume that they will be standardizing this across the fleet soon anyway so hopefully they do go with the best approach.

Nice thread.
Don't forget to update the wiki with the paint progress.
Maybe it would be nice to also track the E+ conversions on the wiki?

I can't recall the UA interface from my SFO-SYD flight in October, but doesn't the main page look similar to this photo of the IFE on the CO 764 with flatbed seats?

Stylistically too, just feels a bit lacking and navigates clunkily, though that's more of an IMO.

No, that's the CO interface. With it, if you leave a movie to check out the air show (or anything else), when you return you have to start the movie from scratch and fast-forward 5 minutes. It doesn't tell you how long the movie is, nor at what point you are within the movie.

Aircraft #s 260-277 are the Mid-Cabin Lav 738s and have drop down screens as well. Note that the mid-cabin lav birds will be getting the mid-cabin lav removed as well as the aux galley at 2R removed. One of the rear lavatories will be shifted over to where the aux galley is now, and a dual FA jumpseat will be attached to lavatory at 2R so 2 extra FA jumpseats will be onboard this will

Why is the CO retrojet considered "repainted"? Given the plans to repaint the fleet, it still says Continental.
