United has a higher-density 777 primarily for domestic flights, with 3-4-3 across economy seating and a smaller business ("United First") class with lie-flat seating. There are three versions, which UA is labeling Version 2, Version 3, and Version 4. The differences from prior 777 planes are the economy lavatory areas and the surrounding seats (Rows 37, 39, 40, 41 and 52). This plane features 28-32 lie-flat United First seats, 102-124 Economy-plus seats, and 206-234 Economy seats. All United First seats have in-flight entertainment screens and at-seat power. The United First seats are the same lie-flat "coffins" that were used on international 777 flights prior to the introduction of the Polaris seats. All Economy seats have power outlets (2 outlets for 3-seat groups and 3 outlets for 4-seat groups), but do not have seat-back entertainment screens (just a device holder).

This will probably be moved shortly to the UA seating thread in the UA forum where it belongs.
But until then, here is at least one photo of what you will be flying on. http://blog.sfgate.com/cmcginnis/fil...1/IMG_4668.jpg
Are you sure this is the polaris class. If I see that pic correctly it shows last row facing coach, where in seat guru it seams they have turned it around for the last row.
Update: And more on that aircraft http://travelskills.com/2012/01/19/t...ed-boeing-777/ Ignore the part about F class.

I would second taking the center section with a family of 5. It's a little awkward and tight if you're packing in with strangers, but there's still plenty of room and it's fine if you know everyone in the section. The fifth person can sit across the aisle, where they will be facing the rest of the family (in this config, this is the pair of seats that most "sees" each other - you can't see the people directly in front of you).
Note that while those pictures above are correct for the seat type, none of them actually depict the plane you're flying on. I would also avoid 1AB if possible, as there have been multiple reports of autoblock issues causing people to get kicked out of the seats (to other seats in the cabin).

I took 1A recently and loved it. No bathroom issues whatsoever, as the lavs are up near the cockpit, a good ways away from your seats.

What's the deal with 1A/B? The seat selector doesn't show them as available (and this is for a flight quite far out), and ExpertFlyer doesn't even show those seats (also not as "blocked"). Do these seats exist? If not, that would make 2A/B pretty attractive, as another early booker on this flight seems to have figured out already.

I believe I read somewhere that 1A/1B seats were reserved for FAs who take breaks on longer flights. I'm booked on ORD-OGG in this class almost a year out and those seats were unavailable. I also thought I read that those seats are curtained off for the FAs who are on a break. Maybe someone can confirm?

Does anyone have any experience with 39A or 39L on the new 3-4-3 777-200 high density? Is there a window or not? Does the slide really protrude? UA shows seat maps show only A/B and K/L while seatguru shows A/B/C and J/K/L...does anyone know if it is in fact 2?

One with Row 37 2-0-2 and Row 39 3-0-3
and
a second version with Row 37 3-0-3 and Row 39 2-0-2
The rear lavatory configuration is also different.

What are people's thoughts on the outside seats in rows 48-50? Travelling from IAH-HNL with family. Really don't want to spend $1000 to upgrade to economy plus 
I know it is in the back of the plane, but 2-4-2 seems nice? Or am i a fool? Travelling with 6 and 8 year old and wife.
Thank you!

There's no window (except the itty bitty porthole in the door which you can't really see out of from the seat). The seats are set far enough back from the door that it isn't an issue unless you're tall and wanted to do hamstring stretches while sitting.

Thanks JAaronT. Is this on config where there are only 2 seats 39AB and 39KL in that row? I'm currently on this a/c for a short red eye from LAX-EWR and am in 17A, but 17BC are also taken. Thinking I should swap out for 39B which is open. After takeoff I can place my carryon in front of me for a foot rest.

Sitting as a pair in 2B/2A - LAX - HNL, are these good seats? Was also thinking of sitting 1L/K, but i dont want to be so close to galley.
3L/K are open as well, but im afraid that puts us too close to lavs too?
