At present--very very few. They are maxed out on widebodies until 787s and 777s come online for the increased international services. The additional 753s they picked up from TZ will be going on routes that use to have widebodies--more than likely. Right now, the only domestic widebodies are: IAH-EWR-IAH (1 or 2 762s), IAH-HNL (2 764s), IAH-OGG (1 764), and EWR-HNL (1 764).
Those are not 762s--they are 764 and 76Hs (the 764s with fewer business class seats/more economy). Continental refers to the 76Hs as 767 in their timetables.

I've had airfares come up in the past year with 777's connecting IAH-EWR. I'm sure those aren't regular flights, but they did show up on continental.com when connecting to one airport through the other. (Looking for various miles runs.)
There are 10 kinds of people in the world; those who understand binary, and those that don't.

I've seen them too, and I've been told they're positioning flights to get widebodies between the two international ops hubs, but you don't see them in the peak summer season.

Seems a little screwy, but thanks for pointing that out.

Not anymore--the 777s are maxed out on international runs. I've flown IAH-LAX-IAH and EWR-IAH on the 777; but those days are over for a while. They use to fly CO1/2 IAH-HNL-IAH on the 777 too. CO sometimes sends heavies down to SDQ, SJU, and AUA from EWR.

While IAH-LAX-IAH 777 went away with the Gulf War 2 (used them for troop transport, never returned to the route AFAIK), the 777 still does fly between EWR-IAH most of the time, just not in the peak summer travel period for Europe unless it is a reposition. In winter, expect to see one 777 flight at day between the 2, as well as 1 767. 767 (764, 76H, 762) could also return to LAX-IAH this winter as it has been that way every winter I've been living here (6).

BTW - there are two 762 flights EWR-IAH daily right now. Winter one will likely return as a 777.

Quoting FlyingTexan (Reply 12): CO 51 was downgraded from a 777 to 757 sometime this Summer.
depending on how the winter works out, you might see a 762 take over for a 764, a 764 take over for a 777 in europe, then the 777 end up back on that route for repositioning daily, likely replacing the 762, with another 762 serving LAX, etc., etc.. all depends on how CO calculates their demand.

I hate the timing of HNL-LAX on CO. Last thing I want after a nice vacation is to take a too short red-eye and arrive tired to my home. Not to mention that you must check out of your hotel many hours before the flight leaves.
Other airlines offer day flights as well.
But downgrading the 764 to a 762 means a huge hit in cargo, and LAX-HNL-LAX is an important cargo route, connecting a major US sea port in LAX to HNL, and providing Hawaiian goods to a large market in Southern California.

Don`t forget EWR-MCO. There is usually one 767-2 or -4 coming in once a day. Haven`t seen any 777's lately. Just depends on load factors. Probably won't see anymore widebodies coming into MCO after CO picks up more TZ 757-300's.

There are no 767's of any kind running EWR-MCO anymore...better to use narrowbody lift domestically anyway...

I saw a CO 767-400 in Orlando (MC0) yesterday..They are regular substitutions all the time, however I believe are not scheduled.

Yeah the CO 767s sub for 757s frequently--they've been on IAH-MSY flights and IAH-CUN as well. When will the definitive winter skeds be loaded?
