Usually seen needs at least 20 tracked United flights on seven different days, at least one Elevated interior sighting within 21 days, aircraft lists checked within 90 days, no more than 10% unidentified flights, and at least 90% identified Elevated interior flights. Sometimes seen meets the same checks with a smaller share.
Only days with sufficient route coverage contribute to these shares. Searches limited to selected aircraft cannot establish how often a cabin serves a route. Unidentified aircraft remain in the total. Rows with less evidence show an estimated chance; the identified family flight count is shown separately. A provisional cabin configuration estimate does not establish fleet deployment. When a route’s estimate depends on it, we show chance unknown unless recent flight data supports an observed share. Estimates for nearby airports can differ from flight-weighted observations. Daily aircraft records do not identify flight numbers.
