777 xp2 --> xp1?
 
As we all know, the horror story is having 21HJ on an XP2 and getting swapped to an XP1 (on the 2, 17-20HJ are crew rest seats which means 21HJ has more leg room than the bulkheads even. :eek: I'm doing SFO-LHR tonight, and when I booked, it was an XP2. 17AB (playing it safe) were taken, and so was 21HJ, so I took 17G. (Right side aisle in center 5) Go online this morning and it's now an XP1 with 17J available, which I immediately grabbed. :cool: Could it be a swap b/c it was Y1 at that point? I called CS to make sure my 17J took (yes) and she said it was oversold. So does UA do the XP2 to XP1 swap to free up 6 seats?

What are XP1 and XP2? The official designations are XP and XC/XI.

I don't know if UA does equipment swaps to try to reclaim as few as six seats. It's usually more of a "which aircraft are available?" issue.

Sorry, got my terminology wrong - just put the coffee on. Let's go with "crew rest" v. "non crew rest". :D

Maybe they're thinking, "hmmm, if we swap, we don't have to u/g those 3 FT'ers on the flight." :eek:
