United also has PS service scheduled for the direct EWR-ANC this summer, so looks like some actual good options this year.

Most important part is the lie-flat seats.
while on the topic... Is there any easy way of telling which routes have such service?

9 is the number of seats available for booking. IN & PN are (award/upgrade) specific booking class buckets. IIRC @Dan once had a DDMS article about United advanced search that explained the various buckets.
