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.

Apparently, the aircraft are undergoing installation at Winston Salem, but the service is "deactivated". I think there is a shortage of kits to make the installation operational. 2/3 of those sUA 739ERs (3801-3830) with WiFi installed now have operational WiFi as of yesterday. Expect to have more turned on within days.

Love the United Airlines fleet site!

I have noticed that a few changes are needed and they are as followed:

A319
-N835UA already has slimline seats (F8/Y120)

738
-N11206 exited MIA on 7/8/14
-N16217 exited INT on 7/10/14 with WiFi
-N12225 now has active WiFi
-N14250 exited MIA sometime in June
-N73283 now has active WiFi

739
-N68817 now has active WiFi
-N63820 now has active WiFi

744
-N121UA now has WiFiStream in Y cabin in addition to overhead video

752
-N551UA exited GSO on 7/1/14

763
-N667UA exited GSO on 7/9/14

777
-The "Hawaiian" configured aircraft do not have WiFi except for N215UA. All "Hawaiian" configured aircraft do not have Channel 9.
-N212UA entered SFO on 7/9/14
-N771UA did not enter HKG on 7/6/14 and looks like it will not enter HKG in the near future
-N774UA does not have WiFi installed
-N79011 exited HKG on 7/8/14 with WiFi

789
-N38950 will have WiFi once it is placed into revenue service (photos show it with a ray dome already installed)
-The fleet number for N26952 should be 3952 not 3951 and the fleet number for N35953 should be 3953 not 3951

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the update. Have them all posted.
Glad someone is checking it out in detail.
Hadn't posted a few of the updates you mentioned, but most were errors/lack of update or new stuff you found. glad to see sCO 772s getting WiFi, WiFi turned on in several more 73NGs, 835UA in slimline, etc.
Comment anytime with updates, etc.

I flew on this bird over the weekend. Pretty neat seeing the split scimitar winglets. Unfortunately, wifi was inop. Network was available but I was never able to get past the login page (not a problem on other satellite wifi flights I've been on). I was on my ipad for the duration of the flight and was checking every 15 minutes or so.
