28J, 42E+, 72Y, but it was a premium-heavy configuration. (At least, I'm talking about the version with 28J lie-flat, not the older ones.)

F, J, and E+.

And then there was the all J SQ 340.

Why is there only one Dreamliner 787-10 flight daily between EWR-SFO and is that likely to change in the next 10 months? I do understand that an equipment swap and downgrade from PP to economy is very likely.

Row 9 in business was dreamy…

If I am flying SFO-EWR in J and then connecting to another domestic flight, but the connection is in Y, will I receive UC access in EWR?

Yes, flying business gets you access on origin and destination points of the flight. I forget whether it applies to other airports on the same itinerary, although I'm sure someone here can chime in on that

Just looking for it at EWR on a relatively long layover - great news, thanks!

United does not allow you access to UC other than SFO/LAX and EWR.

American however will allow you access to Admirals Club for connections beyond JFK and LAX-SFO.

Weren't there supposed to be catering improvements on the premium transcontinental flights by now?

The last I read from a remotely trustworthy source was MatthewLAX's blog in January. It did not mention any timeline.

Menus on Premium Transcon have been dramatically updated (at least for lunch/dinner) with more and better main course options. Also, now there is ice cream cart.
