SFO to HNL -- aircraft assignment in Summer / Aug 2022
Hello, just looking to book some flights from SFO to HNL for this August. I can see all flight 1175 are scheduled with 777-300ER with the premium plus seats (but sell as Econony+) in August, but how often do they swap these AC with those that without premium plus seats (ie HD 777-200)?
And how many 777-200 have they retrofitted premium plus??
Thanks.

UA has not been offer PremPlus from SFO to Hawai'i given UA more flexibility to change aircraft.
There have been some rumors the Hawai'i 772 may get retrofit in the future -- perhaps with Premiumlus.

UA is already showing the 772HD on SFO-OGG for March, with the 77W remaining on SFO-HNL.
Aircraft assignments for August are essentially theoretical at this point.

Almost certain OP means the Polaris 772 (which is an upgauge from the 788 presently scheduled for most of March). The domestic 772, of which most are the non-ER version, does not have the range to fly from the west coast to Europe.

...And spill it down the line for the rest of us as well. These 777s to Hawaii replacing the 737s. Those 737s replacing some of the longer 175/170 routes. Those 175s replacing CR7/550. CR7/550 replacing CR2/145s.
Win-win all the way around, as far as I'm concerned. (I'd enjoyed 550s and 175 from my airport for over a year, but those wretched CRJs are back this winter and spring like a festering boil--and all over the Midwest).

Domestic 772 also consist of 4 77O that are actually ER, and they have PTV throughout the entire plane

Yes, it is Polaris 772. I'm scheduled on it mid-April. They are resuming direct flights, SFO-CDG (UA990) at the end of March.

Agree that overall this is good news.
