New Seats LAX-LHR in December 2010
Looks like the new seats are showing up on this route. Thank goodness. LAX finally gets both of there two international aircraft upgraded. NRT, LHR, hopefully we will get FRA and HKG someday. And a new terminal at that.

United's conversion guide indicates the 5th 777 (N785) is complete with the 6th (N787) in progress.
Seems like they might be coming out a little faster as it wasn't even a full month for N785 to be completed.

There is still SYD operationg consistently with the new F/C 744.
FRA & HKG were both served out of LAX not too long ago. Certainly be welcome to have them back, given the fact that both LH and CX run mutliple daily frequencies out of LAX on those routes.

LAX LHR yes
As I mentioned in a different thread, on my mid-November flights UA934 and UA935 (LAX LHR LAX) are showing up as the new 3+3+3 configuration on United's website, but are still showing as the old 2+5+2 configuration on my travel agent's computer, which makes selecting seats a very risky business.

How can I tell if my flights are reconfigured? To me looks like domestic 777 are all not but maybe the EU 777 Intl might be? Is checking UA cargo status a couple weeks before still the best indicator? Thanks.

When is your travel? it's unlikely you'll see the new birds on these routes for quite some time.
