Looks like you can book the 7:25am flight IAH-ORD on Sunday November 4th which is still showing availability in First and Economy on the 757-300.  This is supposedly going to be the inaugural flight.

Found a seat map here. It's going to be J with 36 lie-flat angled seats that appear to be similar to the PMCO BF product. https://www.united.com/web/en-US/content/travel/inflight/aircraft/787/800/default.aspx

Now showing as "Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner"

Anyone game?
The problem would be getting there on a Sunday morning from the east coast...Shabbaton DO in LA?

People living in newark or elizebath should be able to make it for that flight.
