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.

According to PR today the 789 is still undergoing crew familiarization and "working out the bugs". Jose any validation of that?

47 B737-900ERs to have scimitar winglets by the end of the year
100 B737-800/900ERs to have scimitar winglets by the end of the year.

737-700s start getting them in February 2015

B747-400 ISP starts with tail #8405 and should have it when it gets out of Xiamen. Whole 747 fleet should be complete by May 2015.

The Hawaiian 777s 2368, 2372, 2379, 2510, 2511, 2512, 2513, 2514, 2515 start getting ISP this December and to be completed by May 2015.

737-800 (73X) aircraft getting ISP and to be completed by April 2015.

I've flown on them twice and they are acceptable. I'd just rather see the fleet changes completed ASAP, which will add seat availability and lowers the CASM costs.

Looks like UA's first revenue service for the 787-9 (N38950) will be Flight 1186/22Sep IAH-LAX, 1440 CDT departure time

N194UA was in CWF for the partial paint job after Boeing completed the repair in Chicago.

Since I'm not going to read through 34 pages I apologize in advance if this was asked.

Is someone updating the google sites address with all the latest info (weekly) we get about each fleet update? I have found several inconsistencies in the google sites version and the FAQ only references it but doesn't say who "owns" it and who modifies it.

Thanks to all who provide updated info on this thread (and in google sites). Us flyers appreciate it!!

Those are on the 752, not the 753, so there's only 1 flying with the kit, not three. Odds are very much against you.
