763:
N675UA entered MIA 2759/8Sep - What the chances High Premium Polaris/PE is being installed at MIA? Vs. 2 class units, looks like only seating is being changed, no lavs or galley movement. N674UA has been in MIA since 7/2 and in numeric sequence with N675UA.

788:
N26902 sked to exit HKG 2790/9Sep
N45905 sked to enter XMN 1745/9Sep

Interesting, definitely an up-market configuration. LHR routes will probbly soak up a lot of those 17 frames.
Wondering, what other routes might be candidates. For FRA, MUC and CDG the Y-section is probably too small.
Maybe GVA?

Switzerland is a sizable market for UA premium traffic, requiring sufficient up-front capacity.
Meanwhile a decrease in Y-capacity might not be unwelcome, as it is at times more challenging for UA to fill up Y out of GVA and ZRH.
So, the larger J / smaller Y-configuration might actually work out quite well in that market.

It’s incredible that the high J 763s will have the same number of seats as a 738.

It looks like 78X N14001 is being flown away from Hurricane Florence from CHS to PAE for safekeeping.

Interested in seeing if Boeing is going to fly it back to CHS after the storm. Its seems airworthy so why not handover at PAE? Only thing I can think of are the seats/interior not being installed but that could be a supply chain question that someone else here on this thread can help me answer...

772:
N775UA (Domestic/Hawaii unit) entered HKG 2782/18Sep for maint

Expect N791UA to exit soon based on entry date for Polaris. Typhoon could have delayed work.
