US EditionUnited Airlines Is Turning Economy Seats Into a Bed
- On Tuesday, United Airlines announced the "Relax Row," a new economy seating option featuring three seats with adjustable leg rests that transform into a lie-flat surface for long-haul flights.
- Andrew Nocella, United's Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, stated passengers deserve "more space and comfort," positioning United as the first North American airline offering this product.
- Each seat features leg rests that fold at a 90-degree angle to create a couch-like surface; passengers receive a custom-fitted mattress pad, a specially sized blanket, two extra pillows, and a plush stuffed toy.
- By 2030, United plans to offer the seating across more than 200 Boeing 787 and 777 widebody aircraft, with up to 12 rows available per plane, limiting overall availability.
- While international airlines like All Nippon Airways and Air New Zealand have offered similar lie-flat options for years, United holds exclusive design rights in North America, with pricing details withheld until closer to launch.
