Interesting if N768UA is going into mod.
Does UA have more front/rear facing BF seats laying around?
My count was that each 3 class to Domestic configured aircraft released one set of window pairs on each side of the aircraft after configuration. (Five rows in, four rows out)
With all 10 3 class units converted or in mod, that realeased 10 sets of window pairs from each side of the aircraft.
With N779UA converted and N212UA in mod, that should have used 8 sets of the 10.
Where would UA get the extra sets for N769UA?
If center seats can be used by the windows, then that would work as there are 2 rows of center seats left over from each 3 class to Domestic reconfigurations. (Five rows in, three rows out) There should be 14 rows of middle seats sitting in HKG.
I had assumed the seats would come from 772 Polaris reconfigurations.

First post. Does anyone know if there are any possibilities on a domestic 747 route? I've never flown on one before.

Welcome to FT!

We have a long thread on that subject that will give you some insight.

Are they not just four copies of the same seat pod across the aircraft? Always looked that way to me.

Earlier this year there are some occasion 747 flight between SFO and ORD.
Last Friday there are 2 SFO-LAX flight oped by 747 primarily to accommodate pax affected by bad weather.
But they are all last min swap so you have no way to know ahead of time.
This thread provides some intl routes that maybe help.

The photo shows the four center seats are one unit. There is no seem in the middle of the set.

UAX Update

CR7:
N755SK is in fleet exit prep

E45X:
N16183 has left Expressjet in preparation for transfer
N14143 has exited the fleet, in IGM storage

E45:
N15985 has exited the fleet, in IGM storage

Also, for what it's worth...I believe the 777 retrofit program is scheduled to complete the Domestic 772 conversion in May, but the first Polaris 772 isn't scheduled for conversion until much later in the year. So possibly the 744 and 763 IPTE seats will be used for the domestic retrofits??
