    I just flew this route April 13th

    It is scheduled to end August 30th last I was told, unless otherwise indicated.

    Definitely worth flying, had a great time!

    Jeremy, while I cant help out with this if you know anyone at UA that can give you a buddy pass you would probably have a decent shot at getting J or F because these aircraft have such large premium cabins, currently F12 J52 Y310.

    Back in the day United had the largest domestic wide body ops, probably my 2 favorite United flights ever where both on the 777, IAD-SEA and LAX-MIA. United retired the DC-10 and 747-200 the same week in 2001 (pre 9-11) so I took a farewell all widebody UA flight the last week of service. After positioning to ORD on AA I flew the following as a pass rider.
    ORD-DEN 747-200 in J
    DEN-SF0 747-400 in J
    SFO-ORD DC-10 in Y
    ORD-B0S 767-300 in J

    It was an awesome trip.

    Cheers

    LGA777

    LGA777-

    I flew on a UA Buddy Pass on a Tuesday no less. With UA allowing free upgrades to F and J now, it is more rare than ever for NR to actually GET F and J upfront now.

    We didn't even get E+ on the flight had to sit in actual economy, the agent felt bad so she gave me and my buddy a whole row so that helped a bit.

    I have access to UA loads and every day it goes out full w/ Revenue in F/J, but Y not so much.

    I don't think they run the 747 on SFO-ORD.
