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=415&flig htDate=9%2F15%2F2015&origin=JFK&destination=SFO

https://mobile.united.com/FlightStatus/FlightDetails?carrierCode=UA&flightNumber=415&flig htDate=9%2F15%2F2015&origin=JFK&destination=SFO

Just change the flight date to match the day of your scheduled flight and then change the origin / destination as 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.

You may also check the specific fleet variant of each flight at the United Cargo site under "Schedules & tracking". This data tends to be reliable starting 7 days in advance, but is always subject to change.

I think you mean the 7 remaining non-midlav units. The 18 mid-lavs 3260-3277 are all flying, but extensive mods supposed to start in 2Q 14, with slimline seats, I'm sure WiFi/streaming WiFi and lav removal.

Looking at the 7 non-E+ 738s, I find N17528 went through MCO 5/3-5/9 for E+ and that N77520 is in MCO now, N76519 is due in tonight and N66522 is due in tomorrow. Glad to see this progress on completing these units to E+.

Yup that's what I meant. I originally wrote non midlav and then incorrectly edited it out. Glad to see the number down to 3 as of today.

Thanks Bunky!

any insight into what's required to 'install' the wi-fi streaming avod? is it a software update for planes that already have wi-fi, or does it require new hardware to be installed?

Not sure that is exactly true. It appears the bulkhead wall on the non-TED 320s in F is being replaced. It also looks like the seats are recovered and cleaned up a little bit. The Airphone pocket has definitely been covered up and you never know it had been there originally.
