One of two anyway: N662UA or N663UA according to the wiki. Let us know which. I have a couple of 767 flights next week that are currently showing new config seat maps and 67I on unitedcargo. I'm getting anxious.

Hope you have better luck to HKG!
Looking good for UA 869 on Wednesday. Unfortunately I'm forward facing, because Mrs Cricketer refused to face backwards. I struggle with a lot of forward facing lie-flats, can't sleep with my head below my feet! Still, 5th time lucky, I'm hoping!

Wow. 6 for 6 is quite an achievement. My odds of missing 4 for 4, given which aircraft were in service at the time, were well under 0.1%. At 6 for 6, assuming they were fairly recent, you've pretty much achieved the impossible. (Yes, I know I'm assuming all 767 routes are equal)

It was ORD/SFO, sorry for not being clear.

isn't it time to play, "Where are the un-configured planes"?

Why is your head below your feet when you face forward lying flat?

Oh hey! Speaking of #777, [beep] UA's ridiculous delays in reconfiguring the 777 fleet.

Airplanes generally fly slightly nose-high in cruise.

By the way, if anyone has information which 763s have working vs non-working iPod connectors, we can add that information to the Wiki as well. If you know for sure either way for a specific plane, please post it here and I'll compile the information and present it on the Wiki.

I will take a level on my next 763 flight (Apr 2) and measure the seat angle when in bed position at cruise. I have flown the new seats 9 times (5 rear-facing, 4 forward). If there is a slight angle it was not enough to bother me.

If you can measure it, it should only be 1 or 2 degrees.

You'd think they would have corrected for this when designing the seats.

Not very easy. The angle changes based on weight, which also means it changes during flight.
