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).

United 777 Version 3



United 777 Version 4


Most Hawaii 777-200 flights will be either of these versions. Everything You Wanted to Know About Where to Sit on a UA 772 Hawaii Configuration

For the most privacy, the only aisle seats in business that do not face the person opposite you are 4B and 4K

FC HNL-DEN

Does anyone know if flight #383 HNL-DEN (9 PM departure) provides the Polaris pillow and blanket "pack"? They do on KOA-DEN but I didn't want to assume it was the same on the 777-200 and get surprised. Also, is under foot rest storage allowed on this frame? TYIA.

All my Hawaii flights have been daytime but I’ve never seen Polaris style amenities offered. I’d say your experience is more of an exception than the rule.

777-200 with 2/4/2 seating in first does not allow floor/foot pocket storage during take off and landing. It’s fine during flight.

I've always gotten the pillow and duvet on 772 departures from HNL.

Well, darn!

Did you ask or were they on the seat or handed out?

Normal catering places pillow, duvet, and headphones on seat prior to boarding on 772s.

Well now, that is odd. 3 morning 777-200 flights from HNL to SFO in First in the last 2 years and it was never offered. The last flight was in September!

And the inflight amenities award goes to: ......

Booking a reward flight for next year that has a DEN->OGG leg.

I'm looking at the seating chart and can't seem to see an example of it anywhere. There appears to be paired seats at rows 37, 39 and 40 (plus 48, 49, 50, 51) which doesn't match any 777-200 charts that I see.


Any idea if 37 or 40 would be better as a non-economy plus option? Worried about the proximity to the lavatory but would really like to have a paired seat.

There are two configurations, one with row 37 as a two-seater and row 40 as a three-seater and other with row 37 as a three-seater and row 40 as a two-seater.

No way to tell in advance which configuration will be used -- a first guess is done about 2 day out but could change after that.

Thanks... is 48 always a 2 seat row? Seems like that might be the best option without E+, especially on the side opposite the lav.

Yes
See seatmaps in the wiki or on UA - V3/V4

Note the lav configurations are also different

The lav configuration was unchanged in the last retrofit and that led to the different seat configuration for Rows 37/40

Going to bump this post. What would be considered generally the best paired E+ and Y seats on this version of the 772? If not paired, best in general. Thanks!

I actually don't care for 37 on this config very much due to the lav crowding. For Y, I really like 48AB. While it's not E+ in any way, it feels more open and the 2 seats are the best in regular Y, to me.

I flew it earlier this year w/my spouse, and am doing so again next week.
