AM I ON A PLANE WITH THE NEW INTERIOR??? (The perennial question on FlyerTalk!)
The seating charts on united.com have been deemed notoriously unreliable in terms of determining if a particular flight is in fact one of the planes with the new seating configuration.
(That is, currently, at least for 3-class 767-300s, it appears United.com is almost always displaying the seating charts for the new interior [e.g., Y starts at Row 19 and its starboard-most seats are "J" and "K"], even when the new configuration is not truly scheduled for the flight. And the web site continues to show the new seat map up until seat selection goes under airport control.)
Current conventional wisdom is that (starting about 7 days before a scheduled flight) unitedcargo.com is a much more reliable indicator of which configuration will in fact be used on a given flight. Here is how to check:
- Go to unitedcargo.com
- In the right-most column, under "Other Tools", click on "Check Flight Schedule"
- Select the appropriate date plus "From" and "To" info; click on "Submit>>"
- Look for the flight number of interest
If "Type of Aircraft" shows "47C" or "67I" (as opposed to "B747" or "B767"), that says the aircraft is currently scheduled to be the new configuration.
YMMV. And last minute changes and equipment substitutions do happen...
(Note: From unitedcargo.com, using the "Flight Status" feature and inputting a value for "Flight Number" does not show any info for "Type of Aircraft".)
