Does UA 747 Y Cabin have PTV?

[haf]

Due to curfew, flight times and timezones the a/c would otherwise be parked in SYD earning no revenue. UA does get some pax (& revenue) they wouldn't otherwise get by merging the SFO-SYD and LAX-SYD into SYD-MEL vv. Think of it as their loads & yields trans-pacific would be less without the tag flight.

Thanks for the explanation! Always wondered about that.

I wonder how they manage to compete, running 744s across the Pacific without PTVs.

but I can still see they fill the seats up pretty quickly!

Somehow UA managed to fill up their transpac Y seats pretty quickly. Will be on SFO-HKG flight tomorrow in J, both J & Y seems to be jam-packed.

They will give u KF miles on every fare, thats one reason to fly with them ex-Aus to USA, good for mileage runs. They even gave u full miles on the recent $900 fares to USA from Aus. Quite a good deal. Other option for * Alliance ex australia is Air NZ, who are comparitively stingy re: miles but loads better in entertainment service and food.
