Is this an upgrade or just replacing an unavailable 757?
Aircraft operating is 46/22/99 = 167 seats replacing a 757 16/153 = 169 seats. I suppose upgrade in as much as it is a wide-body (massive if they have all paid business and premium fares) but slight downgrade in terms of passenger numbers.
I suppose no reason why there wouldn't be a specific surge in business/premium bookings on any given day and if so, excellent if United have catered for this.
