Guide to UA Crew Rest Seats -- and do they get released for normal bookings?
Was just wondering if there is also a crew rest on 767-400 in rows 16&17 AB seats as it is the case of sCO 767-300?
I cannot find any info on these seats.
Thanks

There is no dedicated crew rest on the Continental 767-400. Flight attendants usually get a row or two curtained off to themselves. These are regular Economy seats on the refurbished 764s if I'm not mistaken -- no extra legroom and a leg rest like the F/A crew rests on the sUA 763s.
A BusinessFirst seat, usually the rear seat in the middle, is blocked for the pilots as well.

Thank you TravelBeat.
This is what I was looking for ..if rows 16&17 have leg rest. This is something additional to other economy plus seats as I saw it on 767-300.
I was surprised to see these seats open, but it is a domestic IAD IAH flight.

The F/A crew rest seats on the 3-cabin B767-300 are sold as revenue Economy seats on flights where they aren't reserved for the cabin crew. So on domestic flights, and certain international routes, you may select them.
I *think* the flight attendants treat the seats as part of the Business Class cabin, so pax who are assigned to them on International segments where they're not needed will get the C-cabin treatment -- drinks, an amenity kit, International Business Class meal service. This is my understanding, but having never actually been in one of these seats, I could be flat out wrong.

+1 Blocked 767-400
Noticed most European flights on the 767–400 had a blocked seat in BF when you pull up their upgrade page. Is it held until the departure or is it a pilot rest seat that will go unoccupied by passengers

Domestically, UA will only offer the crew rest seats for assignment if the flight is full. (Unless something has changed in the last year...I was traveling with 3 coworkers--2 of us got upgraded, the other, I tried to get into one of the crew rest seats, but since the flight wasn't nearly full, it didn't work). But you are correct that at least domestically, they get the full J-class treatment--meal, drinks, etc. Couldn't tell you about the amenity kit on intl flights...But I actually think that point is moot.
But doesn't really matter these days anyway, as they don't schedule 3-cabin planes on domestic routes anymore.

I wonder if that is unique to the 3-cabin 763ERs, as the crew rest seats on the 777s and 2-cabin 763ERs do not receive business class service (they are physically located in the Y cabin). I haven't tried the crew rest seats on that fleet yet.

You're partially right...

2) Do they tend to become available shortly before flight time, or are they available at booking?

As I stated in my earlier post, they are only available for assignment if the flight is full...Sort of 'last to be assigned'. If anything, they might open up at T-24, maybe T-4, or perhaps only at the gate...And again, only if the flight is (anticipated to be) full.

EWR-LHR doesn't technically require crew rest, but since the return leg of the trip does, crews are augmented and the seats are blocked from assignment.
