The 4 77O do have PTV in Y, 77O are the 32F instead of 77G and 77M are 28F

77O are for operating longer Hawaii flights; would not expect to see one in DEN.

I wouldn't say for sure it won't expect to see one on DEN, as right now they are flying random hub to hub routes, if it flies ORD-DEN, then there's all kind of possibility what's the next leg would be, as even a week ago they sub a 77G for the longer UA5 IAH-LHR instead of a more capable 77O, it is about what's available

Besides, 77O were meant for EWR/IAD-HNL only, they don't need all 4 of them for 2 routes, on top of it UA decided to pull 764 out and not to mention to reconfig into Polaris, the original idea for 77O is to replace 764 on those two routes is less likely

any advice on E+ seats? (looking at rows 16-19)

Currently flying F ORD-HNL in early Nov. Current aircraft is a 787-10. All other ORD Hawaii flights (KOA & OGG) are also still showing 787-8 for those dates. I know no one except UA knows, but what are the odds UA keeps these Polaris birds on the Chicago routes? I see United has already taken the 787s and non-HD 777s off the other routes like IAH, DEN, LAX, and SFO for my dates and replaced them all with the HD versions.

While I prefer the Polaris config better, I actually don't hate the F seats on the HD birds. I guess I just hope if they do switch, they do it sooner rather than later. I'd rather be able to grab good seats now then be spread across the F cabin...or worse, end up in an oversold situation and end up being downgraded if they make the swap closer to travel. Thanks for any thoughts.

77O were intended for ORD as well, where the Hawaii flights were taking occasional weight restrictions. By next March I would expect to see them more dedicated to those routes, but we'll see.

What are the best seats in E/E+ on 772HD?

IAH-OIL-TRASH

I find the proximity of the lavatories to row 16 annoying. I’d opt for something no farther forward than row 17.

WineCountryUA

E+ has more legspace than E-. Exit rows have the most legspace but may be encoached by those waiting for the lavs, The lavs are clearly marked. Little variation for the other seats.
For E-, some like the 2x windows seats in the very, very back

What is you definition of "best"?

In general I like exit window, is there any obstacle for the window seats on the exit row?

WineCountryUA

The window seat has no window and the exit door has a bump out for the life raft. Probably an issue for a taller person. Google "777-200 exit row" for pictures

IMO this seat is not bad, iʻm 6ʻ3" and i angle my legs a bit diagonally. This seat can get COLD tho. Youʻre seated across from the FA jump seat. There is a window but itʻs slightly behind you, you have to look back a bit. I took the 2nd picture from this seat, Iʻm pretty sure is 39L, or itʻs equivalent, as you can see its pre-pleather slimline seats.

Personally iʻd go for 17A or 17L.

Might be quite tough this far out as the final schedule changes won't be loaded until the Fall for the Winter Flying Schedule. That said, as the Summer flying season will be over by then and Hawaii's demand is robust in November, chances are good that it remains in place ... but you never know. I am booked to fly to HNL in July, and I am noticing today that J is zeroed out for sale on all flights today - this implies an equipment/schedule change will likely be loaded this evening, very close-in. Schedule changes for UA are loaded Friday>Saturday. Fingers crossed for you!

Finally flew in one of these lie-flat seats in a V2 or V3 (only 3 rows of 4 lie-flat seats) in IAD-SFO. I ended up in 2B. It clearly was and is not a very good International business class seat with the lack of privacy; however, I'd take this over any regular domestic first seat that UA currently flies. I think the seat must have been designed for taller people as I didn't feel it accommodated shorter people very well in full upright position from a reaching the floor with feet perspective. I had to ask for a blanket to use as additional lumbar support when I sat where my feet could reach the floor. The seats could definitely have used much better privacy dividers and some more creative places for small storage. I also think they should have been leather/pleather seats as the headrest looks like it needed to be steamed. They could have removable headrest protectors.

I think row 4 seats near the lavatories looked horrible. I also thought row 1 near the front galley looked unpleasant, row 1 on the other side looked okay as it was just a transcontinental. Middle of the middle seats looked the worst of the bunch as is the general consensus.

Crew was great. Kudos to being polite, professional and attentive throughout the flight.

Based on other reports, I thought row 4 window seats were the best due to max privacy, what’s wrong with row 4?
