So my MUC-ORD in January just got changed from 763 to the interim 772. Fingers crossed:) |

If there is a swatch to Polaris a/c, make the change to rows 20-22 at T-48 h or earlier. Check the seat map early and often. Good luck. |

They don’t allow switching to 20-22 after 48 hours? When will the actual seat map show up? |

My 2-flight experience is 50-50. First one showed the new config at about T-48, and then flipped back to the old one about T-7. On the return it stuck, but it was IAD-NRT route, they have more flexibility for swaps at IAD than NRT.

Is there an ETA when PE will officially be rolled out? I assume that when this occurs, anyone with flights booked subsequently in rows 20-22 is going to get moved to another row?

B772 or B773ER
just got off of UA872 TPE-SFO normally operated by a B773ER with Polaris.
The aircraft according to flight status was swapped for a B777-200 (Aircraft#2136) with Premium Plus and the new Polaris. However, it still appeared to be a B773ER with Polaris and the mini-economy cabin before is now 3 rows of Premium Plus. The safety video still showed B773ER and the safety card was the B773ER. Would have been okay with Premium Plus but was up front :cool: although the seats did look a little tigher than those on EVA or Lufthansa. |

Aircraft #2136 is a 777-300ER — N2136U. Obviously, it’s one of the ones that has been converted to add the Premium Plus seating. :) |

Yeah, and Flight Radar etc show it was flown by a 77W as usual.

At T-10 the 3 cabin 767 old-lhr0 switched to a new polaris configuration, two hours later it switched again to a 3 cabin aircraft - I retained my GF seat but then it switched again at 9-6 to a new polaris and at T-5 it switched to a 2 cabin old continental seating. I collected many boarding passes that day with different seat assignments.

Flight into HKG yesterday was configured with PE and showing PE for 20-22 out to SFO today. With 2 hours before flight time I'm hoping it holds and is true.
No one yet has indicated they'd actually flown the config.... |
