Still old 763?
Hi, anyone know if there are any old config 763 still in operation today that aren’t in storage? Wondering about my Sat flight EWR-SFO, flight 583. Shows old config but strangely no aircraft assigned yet. Thanks

There are no 763s in the old configuration that are actively flying today. I would expect an aircraft assignment tonight (should've been last night but who knows), at which point the Polaris seatmap should be loaded, barring an equipment swap to a 789 or the lone 764 that is flying.

Non-PE markets are still defaulting to the old configuration. Expect this to change soon.

There are 14 / 17 with 30 seats in J that have been Polaris-ized but the three remaining are not in service.
19 / 21 with 46 seats in J have been retrofitted and the two remaining are currently out of service undergoing retrofit.

Thanks for this, Matthew. I had booked an EWR-MUC flight this summer with the old configuration (2x1x2). I’ll take it that this is just a bug and I’ll get the new Polaris seat.

Thanks all, good to know the 763 Polaris is guaranteed since the old config is not in service

I'm not as knowledgeable as many on this forum, so hopefully someone will chime in if i'm out of the loop, but my understanding is that they brought back some the exCO 767s due to the grounding of some of their 777s, particularly on domestic routes.

I’m booked on DBV-EWR in what appears to be an older 763 brought out of retirement (2-cabin, 6 rows of 1-2-1 J). For this aircraft, will 40-41 A and B be enhanced crew rest seats? 41 A and B are available to select now, weeks in advance, and are marked as standard Y seats. I take that to mean they aren’t the special seats present on some 763s...?

Just to clarify, there are no "ex-CO 763s." All the 763s are sUA. Post-merger, some of the sUA aircraft were configured with the Diamond seat. There are only three of those left, and none are currently flying. As already mentioned, UA has pulled one 764 out of storage. That's an sCO aircraft.

I’m starting to think that one of those three is what I’m going to be on for DBV-EWR. Makes sense given that it’s a 3x/week seasonal route only put into place because of Croatia’s laxer COVID restrictions. I also remember seeing some press about the route that indicates it won’t have “real” Polaris.

They're not going to pull the Diamond seat 763 out of storage just because EWR/DBV will be primarily leisure. If some come out of storage it will be to help overall fleet utilization, and then they might be more often assigned to the DBV route, but they will still circulate through the whole network and will not be used exclusively there. So I agree with dkc192 above that you'll most likely get the reconfigured version.

If PremiumPlus is not being sold for the flight but a PremiumPlus aircraft is used, those seats are treated as E+ (including soft services)
