United Airlines Flight UA900

[KiwiRob]

What type of aircraft do UA fly on this route, San Francisco - Frankfurt. I've been told it's either a 777 or 747, which is it?

[TAP-A343]

It's a 744.

It's a 744.

Any idea what the legroom and seat pitch is like on a UA 744? How does it compare to ANZ.

Interesting.

If I do a search on both side's website, the route is codeshared but flown only by Lufthansa, Is this for real ?

There are 2 different daily flights on UA/LH codeshare SFO-FRA:

UA900/LH9053 operated by UA with a 744 departing at 14:15 and arriving at 10:15 +1

and

LH455/UA8828 operated by LH with a 744 departing at 14:15 and arriving at 9:55 +1

Thanks ..Do they actually leave at the same DEP TIME ?
If they do, why does the UA arrives 20 mins later ? sorry this sound stupid.

You're welcome.

Yes, the departure time is the same.

As for the arrival time, I think airlines set it in a way that they think will prevent them to arrive "late". Perhaps UA is less sure about its punctuality than LH. On the other hand, UA's flight may have a later landing slot at FRA.
