I’m going to guess LHR, BRU, CDG, TLV, FRA, MUC. But with TLV losing 77W, and the two daily being 78J and Polaris/PE 772.
For TLV, This is makes no sense to go from 110 J seats to 84 J a day. Sorry. I respectfully disagree. Why would they do that?

Maybe because they aren't selling all 110 J seats every day? Remember that we don't have the data that they do on actual sales and fares. Also, as noted by jhayes_1780 they may be looking at IAD-EWR-TLV traffic and assuming that the IAD-TLV flight will take some of those J customers.

that's confirmed or speculation? still it's a minus 6 J seats....and I understand IAD affecting connecting pax through EWR. so maybe that makes sense. Being a frequent EWR-TLV flier I am happy for the newer equipment and the new Polaris product that would allow me to consider the early daily flights to/ from. Though a newly config 772 could work too.

(I guess UA can also rotate retrofit sUA 772 through EWR on sCO 772 routes, but haven't seen that happen yet, most have been flying ORD-EWR-GRU)

I have a June 29 EWR-BCN flight currently still showing the hi density 772 as of today and literally no other seats selected by anyone else on the seat chart. Could I reasonably expect that to move to a 78J? if so, when do you think we would see the swap happen on ua.com?
