How do I confirm my flight's aircraft before relying on a map?

Your ticket or the United Airlines app usually prints the aircraft type, and the assignment can still change before departure. Match that name to a card on this page, then open that seat map. Use the guide on how to verify your aircraft type. If United Airlines names an aircraft that is not drawn here, use the live airline map instead of a nearby type.
