Do you mean the complimentary gift is a gift "bag" with all the goodies mentioned above in it? If not, just one bag one item, I still like!

I can only speak for what it was at the events last summer, but yes it was a gift bag full of all of those things. The paper bag was nice and Polaris-branded too.

What routes to China are they considering the 300ER for? Presumably SFO-PEK would be first on the list, given it's currently served with 747.

Not sure; but I agree, I would expect SFO-PEK or the 1p SFO-PVG to be the first 773 to mainland. I doubt the 789 would be substituted by 773 any time soon.

I have just received a personal invitation from United Taipei office to a Polaris Business Class reception after receiving the notification for a preview sent three days ago. It's confirmed on the invitation that the drawing is for a round-trip TPE-SFO Polaris business class ticket. Still curious as to what the gifts would be.

The earlier IAH-LHR-IAH (UA879/880) is using it right now.

How cool! And it's been running it for 4-5 days. Just a temporary thing?

The extra Y seats also help carry the student/tourist load. The new BR and CI 77Ws are also 10 across in Y.
What is the flight number for the new BR flight? They sometimes have 3x flights per day with two early morning (1AM) departures and one around 5PM. I did not realize they had a new time.

Edit: Ah, looks like the times for BR007 change in November. Thanks.

Likely doing some familiarization work.

According to the wiki, SFO-TPE will revert to a 3-class 772 on March 24, 2018.
Has UA ever flown a 3-class 772 on this route?

Yes - I flew SFO-TPE on 3-class 772 last year.

I spoke with the 1K desk few days ago regarding to the SFO-PEK route. Rep checked with her supervisor and said there's a "good possibility" that the new 777-300s will replace the existing 747 Jumbo Jet on this route. The timeline she gave me was Fall 2017.

I'd take that with a grain of salt - given the source .......

I would say all current 744 routes have a good possibility of a 77W due to similar capacities

Some 744 routes will go to a 789 - SFO-ICN being one of them.
