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 https://www.cablepick.net/united#

Just enter your flight number, date, origin and destination. 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.

Space bins are great, but sadly the majority of the people won't know how to use them. Hopefully they have pictures showing how

Anyone have information on 738 N76514? If hit birds at PDX on 9/19, I remember seeing a photo somewhere of an engine change in PDX, but the aircraft is not shown on FlightAware or flightradar24 as moving since the bird strike.
I saw #514 sitting at PDX on the ramp looking very under repair on 10/4. The starboard engine cowl was open and the leading edge of the starboard horizontal stabilizer was completely dismantled.

There should be the 3rd Airbus doing overhaul at SFO as I saw three in the west side hanger.

ps, on the fleet site the entry dates for 2 A319s were mislabeled as 10/22 and 10/3, respectively.

Long-time reader of this thread and appreciate all of the hard work that so many put into it. Haven't been able to contribute because the experts here are way ahead of anything I'd be able to contribute...Until now!

Flew 788 ship #N26909 (3909) last week and can confirm it has PDE.

Guy and gals, keep up the good work in this thread...By possibly contributing something, I finally have a chance to say thanks!

Now can someone speed up the Hawaiian 777s conversions so my family and I can have lie-flats on ORD-HNL in December, please!?!? I don't like our odds right now! Bunky, can you work on that for me?
