I'm trying to jumpseat to Tokyo Sunday Oct 7. Can someone please check the loads for flt 185 phl-sfo, and 837, sfo-nrt. Thank you.

Good luck with that. I go in an out of SFO jumpseating often, and find SFO can be difficult to get out of on United. Have a back up plan. For example, wife and I came back from Hawaii two weeks ago and the day before, there were over 100 seats open on the red eye out of SFO including non-revs and by two hours before the flight the flight was fully booked, and there were 57 non-revs listed with no cancellations of the route that day.

Anyway, you might get to SFO, but NRT is going to be risky. Numbers read Capacity, Booked, Non-revs listed.

185 PHL-SFO 6:54 10:01
First 08-06-03
Economy 112-100-00

837 SFO-NRT 11:28 14:10
First 14-07-05
Business 73-65-06
Economy 260-301-01

O'Hare might be a better bet.

Is it possible to jumpseat from ORD on a 777? I was told there are issues with the IRO's. If I can I guess I'll try 881 and 883.

You can't ride in the cockpit with UA on an Intl flight, so there has to be a seat in the back.

With the SFO flight oversold by 41 seats (how does that happen!) I'd guess you'll see a cascade of upgrades and fill the jet.

Iffy at best.
