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.

Are they running 3 WiFi install lines in HKG? Because that's where the 772s are getting it as well, right? And there are currently two in for fitting right now (Ships 2 & 13). Also, they don't have the STC for the 764s yet, do they?

So do we expect N78002 coming out of HKG fitted with wifi as part of this move? That would be consistent with the ~2 week install timing.

Fully expect N78002 to exit 116/5Oct as that is the turn for 117/3Oct, but that is beyond the window of United.com's flight Status.
It looks like the the widebody WiFi lines are:
HKG
1 for sUA 772s, currently N795UA
2 for sCO 772's , currently #3013 and 3002
1 for 764s, appears to be starting with 3060 10/2/14 (could be 3060 will replace 3013, meaning instead of a 764 line)
CWF
2 sUA 772, currently one Hawaiian N211UA and 1 ITPE N228UA
MIA/MCN/GSO
No indication that 763s are getting WiFi at those stations, N674UA is the first to enter MIA where 753s are getting WiFi, so maybe it will exit with WiFi

Saw a 753 at BNA yesterday next to the Embraer hangar. Anyone know what it was doing there?
