Forgot to mention, it's doing UA873 as we speak, SFO-IAD.

Hmm... do they put it on a transpac operational flight to get over there and back? If so, is it usually on a path through NRT?

Is there any information out there to confirm or deny reconfigurations for UA803/IAD-NRT by July?

Not going to happen. One reconfigured plane is in service. It is about to be taken out to be painted. That will leave 0 reconfigured planes. When it comes back, threads on here countless times have mentioned that it will be based in SFO and will be flying a SFO-LHR-DEN-SFO triangle routing. Sorry.

Now that the plane is flying, has UA posted any other photos or seat maps anywhere? I noticed suitedreams.com is still not updated. What is their problem?

I don't understand why UA takes so long to update their websites. I guess they do if faster if it benefits them!

I noticed that they changed the 5:25pm IAD-ORD flight from a 777 to a 757 and also the 6:18pm ORD-IAD to a 757 as well. I wonder if they are going to the conversion shop.
