[edit] Widebody Interior Conversions
This is a list of United's widebody aircraft undergoing the new interior conversions. Thanks to UnitedSkies for the initial data and everyone else on the Mileage Plus forum for their input (especially worldtrav). For United's view of Progress, go to the SuiteDreams web page and click on "Fleet Progress". Better graphics than this wiki, but typically not as up-to-date! For additional fleet information, see United Fleet (UA).
Note: Some of the early conversions do not yet have an iPod connector outlet in the seats. The later conversions do include this iPod connector output in the seats. Until you board the aircraft, you can't reliably know if the flight will support iPod connection to the in-seat AVOD system. It is believed that the older aircraft will eventually be upgraded to include the iPod connector during some scheduled AVOD maintenance interval. If anyone has information on a specific airplane having or not having the iPod connector, please post the information in the appropriate thread.
- Aircraft marked with an en dash (–) do not have the connector.
- Aircraft marked with a plus sign (+) do have the connector.
- Unmarked aircraft may have the connector, and may not.

Despite United publicly stating that all 3 class 767s have the iPod connector, as of Oct 10, 2009, at least one 767-300 (N647UA) still does not have it. N647UA was the first 767 converted.

777 XP planes will become 777 XQ. All will receive updated lower lobe crew rest facilities.
[edit] General information on the 777 conversions
The 777 conversions are delayed due to problems first with updating the video screens for the Y cabin seats, and now with liquidity during the recession. The first 777 is currently slated to begin its cabin upgrade in February 2010 (see this FlyerTalk thread).
@UnitedAirlines in early January 2010 said that the first international 777 would go in for upgrade in February 2010 and enter service in March 2010.
We're still waiting for the seat maps (United said they'd be available Fall 2009), but the latest information from the Suite Dreams web site says they'll each have 8 F suites and 40 C seats, for a net loss of 2-4 F suites and 5-9 C seats per airframe.
[edit] How to tell if your plane has the new interior
The information in this section was outdated, as ualcargo.com no longer makes any distinction between configurations. Suffice it to say that if you're flying any 747 or any 767, you will get the new config. If you're flying a 777, you don't. Once the 777 conversions begin and we determine a reliable way to get this information, it will be posted here.
