LAX-BOS still gets no love...
Please, on UA, what route gets any love? Even if you score Polaris on a 777-300er you will still be at the mercy of UA's horrible cabin crews.

Just checked my SFO-BOS-SFO leaving June 11 is now PS service. Shows F to be pretty wide open so hope my RPU gets taken but won't hold my breath.

DL offers DeltaOne on this route now as well.

With UA starting all lie-flat service here, though, and with more frequency, they should own DL. Of course, track record over the past several years has been spotty, to put it kindly...

They are using the moniker "ps service" on your itinerary?

A quick check of the ps page of their website still lists it as only LAX/SFO<->EWR

I have a bunch of BOS<>SFO trips booked, and none of them say "p.s.," just United First.

These are rumored to NOT be CPU eligible -- does anyone have a coach itinerary with the "CPU Eligible" note?

it won't change until this officially becomes p.s. service. It is quite surprising to see all the planes loaded and the increased capacity as well for such a long time ... and no announcement. Delta announced it a while ago. Wondering what is going on here. Strange. Hope they don't pull this last minute; need to book travel and want to know if I can safely book SFO-BOS or need SFO-EWR-BOS.

Just checked and NO there is no moniker or statement on my itinerary which states PS service. However, I also called and was told by the 1K agent that it is indeed now PS service (Remember I booked this trip months ago). It looks like 6/8 is the transition date for PS service on that route as others stated above. I fly SFO-BOS-SFO 5/28 and no PS service listed and this was also confirmed by agent.
Let's see if they take my RPUs on these trips, as stated F looks wide open at least on the returns by no R space listed obviously.

Meaningless.

Please, when was the last time UA defeated DL at anything?

My bet is that United won't use ps for service on this route. They will probably use something like "Polaris Premium Transcontinental", which will be announced in early June.
Happy travel.

I recently chatted with the UA source who correctly provided the info in the first post of this thread. Additional word is that lounge access WILL be available to all F pax, and so the UA Club in BOS will have about 40 additional seats added through reconfiguration. And no CPUs will be available.

It's not known if this will be branded as p.s. or another moniker, but it will have similar attributes/benefits to the current p.s.

Still surprised they have not announced this formally.

Maybe they are waiting to figure out whether to continue branding p.s. or do some kind of Polaris tie-in. In which case it is not that surprising it's not yet been annunced.
