Taipei to SFO route, which 777-300er is this?
So I've never seen this seat map before for the 777. I think they changed planes last minute as I saw my seat changed. I originally was in second row of economy plus (row 20), but now the second row is 21. Also it seems like the first 3 rows have C blocked. What's the deal?

You are getting a free preview of the Premium Plus seat, but the regular Economy service.
United has been selling Premium Plus fare since 3 Dec 2018 for travel after 30 March 2019.
Premium Plus Fare in GDS (for sale starting 3 Dec 2018, travel after 30 March 2019)

This plane has both premium economy and economy plus. The former is in rows 20-22, with the 2-4-2 configuration, but (for now) marked as economy plus; the latter begins in row 30, with the 3-4-3 configuration.

Nice, didn't know they started using these new configs already. Since it's not official launch, I'm guessing there's no amenity kits, pillows, or blankets?

And as more retrofits are completed after the P+ launch (772 and 17 of the 763) they’ll start flying non P+ routes as well (until the next P+ wave is launched) so there will be more surprise and delights for those who nab the front rows of E+. Just keep watching the seat map like a hawk, especially in the days before your flights.

The info on UA.com is incorrect. The plane is a 77W with PE: N2135U.
