GVA is possible, but not confirmed, so I wouldn't make plans based on the prospect of a 76L. LHR seems to be the priority.

UA 883 (LHR-EWR) with new Polaris seats
Hi,
I'm not entirely sure but from the information I collected this routing should be operated by a retrofitted 767-300?
Cheers!

Most of the LHR<>EWR flightd are or will soon be serviced by the 76L, 763 high-J Polaris seat configuration.
If your seat is shown the high-j configure, that will most likely be the aircraft used. LHR<>EWR is the initial route for this aircraft and UA will primarily focus the retrofit aircraft on this route for now.
And as UA gets more conversions, other routes will be added
5 of 17 have been converted with 3 of them in for the conversion now.

Ex-Hawaiian 76Ls do not have individual air gaspers...

Flew this model yesterday, LHR EWR. Service seemed fine. The cabin is 1/2 the airplane! Crazy!

Not sure about the other routes, but hypothetical EWR-GVA/ZRH might also do well since UA/LX are the dominant carriers on that route.

Pretty sure these Swiss routes were mentioned, IIRC due at least in part to large pharmaceutical market. So probably / possibly discounted, but purchased J.

I wouldn’t mind flights to either being on a 76L. In the past, I’ve generally been able to find PZ availability on those routes using the existing birds without too much trouble.
