Not yet that I am aware of. This is the first XD. We also don't have an XJ map.

Does anyone know if the FRA-SFO route (UA927) is flying the new configuration 777?

I'm sorry, can you rephrase? A few other posters have said they've had the new config and remodel, but don't expect it? why not? thanks

United needs to get their act together and just finish converting these planes, it's a little obnoxious to pay the same $400 + 20k miles for a substantially worse hard product. I couldn't imagine paying C fares to fly an old-config 777.

I agree. I am flying this route in a couple of months. I highly doubt any substantial progress will be made this year. FlyerGuide's UA conversion wiki and UA's own website, have not posted any progress for months.

Not correct with respect to the wiki, which from my frequent review has regularly been updated to show the progress of conversions. It is updated on a regular basis, and has shown a number of conversions completed this year. The wiki was just updated a couple days ago to reflect the first XD conversion.

IAD-GIG
I am flying IAD-GIG first in December 2011 - what are the chances of the new config on that flight. Still showing old config.

Does UA still reserve an F seat for pilot rest in the reconfig 777?
I'm scheduled for PVG-LAX in mid June with the new config and the F seat map only shows 7 seats; 2A isn't showing at all. All seats are showing occupied, but the booking availability codes show F1.

Isn't one of the window seats in row 2 reserved for the pilot?
