The Versions, Ranked
Top routes are the ones we most often observe each cabin flying, from the flight history we track, resolved to individual registrations; the percentage is how often a flight on that route is this cabin. They describe our tracked network, not United Airlines's whole 777-200 fleet — and a version we haven't measured would not appear here at all.
