According to Executive Travel:
United Airlines plans to replace the 747-400s currently operating on its Australian routes with 777s next spring, according to press reports from Sydney. United flies from San Francisco and Los Angeles to Sydney and Melbourne. Starting in April 2014, the 374-passenger 747s will be replaced with 269-seat, three-class 777s that have eight first class suites, 40 seats in business class and 221 in economy; 117 of the latter will be extra-legroom Economy Plus seats. The 777s also will have individual video screens at all seats in every class, which the 747s dont offer.
I guess that this will mean that there will be fewer award seats available!
