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).

Your family member was a lucky passenger. Indeed, that seat 41C is very good. Was your family member nice and let you sit in his seat for a short while?

On a side note: Upon landing in HNL, police came aboard and detained a passenger seated two rows in front of us. We (and others) were delayed in disembarking while the police asked us questions about the detainee's behavior on board. From the questions, it seemed the passenger's frequent use of the lav made the FA's suspicious. Illegal drug use?
RNE, opining that it was all around an unpleasant flight, but being in Hawaii quickly relieves unpleasantness.

Our long-legged family member was not so lucky it turns out. At boarding, United randomly moved him from 41C to 37C. (Thus, we lost a seat booked 11 months in advance. Yes, I know seats are never guaranteed. Still...) Another passenger sat in 41C. She, short legged, had been randomly moved up to 41 from a row farther back, she claimed.

That's quite weird since seat 41C is listed as an Economy + seat and row 37 is not. Did your relative have UA status or paid extra for that Economy + seat?
I hate having to babysit my seat from the moment I book my flight to the moment I'm sitting in it. My long-hauls are mostly on the 3-class 772 and I do have my preferred seat.
Hopefully, that passenger was not detained just for having drunk too much water........

Foolish me. 
RNE, specious of shenanigans when a desirable seat is swapped at the last minute.

Economy seats more narrow than 773 or same?
Now that they are flying these to Europe (!!), I need to choose between a nonstop on a 777-200 HD and adding a connection + 4 hours just to avoid it. How wide are the economy seats vs. 773? I previously flew on a 773 between EWR and TLV and my seat (39A, exit row window) was Ok - a bit narrow, but not awful. Are economy seats on 772-200 HD even narrower or same as 773?

No. Almost the opposite in fact - there are two extremely narrow armrests which (if I remember) can be lowered. It's convenient if you want to cuddle with your seatmate, and otherwise rather irritating.

One time, when I was in an aisle seat on a BA flight with the same 2-4-2 configuration in Business, I could see two passengers in those middle seats making out. I wonder if that's the reason the two passengers next to me on the flight PVG-ORD next month have decided not to move out of the middle seats even though the plane was empty when they got their seats and there were aisle seats in every row (and there are still many aisle seats available now).
