If it's not that (since LAX T7 was my guess... but I think we've seen that angle in this thread), for informed guessing: There's a pallet loader at the cargo door. No United narrowbody aircraft utilizes palletized/LD3 cargo, so it has to be a 76x, 77x, or 78x.

Correct plane. Not correct seat.

Yes, I've shown that angle before. It is as econ notes, a 763.

In that case I'd think it's gotta be 1L?

Finally—two and a half years later than I had expected (thanks be to Covid)—I reached one million miles on UA881 on Aug. 12 shortly after takeoff toward HND. On my much shorter flight earlier that day from PIT to ORD, the pilot came over just before takeoff and gave me some fancy local chocolates, a Million Miler coin, and several cards signed by all the crew and ground staff as well as her business card with a personal message. Then she made an announcement before going back into the cockpit congratulating me on reaching a million miles on the present flight—to a smattering of applause. (Reader, it was the right journey, but the wrong flight. I didn't correct her.)

On UA881, before take off someone from the ground crew came on and gave me a card "from" Scott Kirby and took my photo with it, and shortly before landing the purser (?) came and gave me a card signed by all the crew. I was hoping for a bottle of champagne but no such luck.

It was great that I was able to do the whole trip in Polaris/domestic first thanks to Plus Points. Sadly, given that I'm in Japan and travel to Europe as much as the US, only purchase Y fares, and we don't get PQMs for having a UA-branded card outside the US, this is my last year as a 1K and with Plus Points. At least I'm spending that year with style!

I agree I think it's ORD PL in one of the quadrangle of solo seats on the back side of the bar.

That said, the beer glass looks like UC beer glass rather than PL, but perhaps it's been too long since I ordered a beer at the PL. 🤭

I can't wait so long for an update to lodge my guess! 😅

And I’m 99% you’re right (I’m ORD-based and have sat back there many times.)

Will see if anything like that at LAX PL this evening if I have time to visit (based on Kannai's post)

While we wait for Kannai to return with a hint or answer, here's one that shouldn't be too difficult.
What airport...where/what terminal?

I’d agree with ORD based upon the style of the window frames (weird thing to remember I suppose )
