THERE’S no better flight feeling than knowing everyone is onboard your flight and the middle seat next to you is free.
Well, United Airlines is adding a seating option that will guarantee no one sits next to you.
The seats called Economy Plus will be on sale later this year.
Flyers booking these not only get to keep the middle seat free, but the row has comes with extra elbow room too.
The seats also have one custom table from armrest to armrest across the open middle seats – so there’s more space in front of passengers.
United hopes to include the Economy Plus option on its entire fleet of A321XLR planes which also come with three inches of extra legroom.
The airline expects to be the only one in the US that offers this seating option.
The new perk from United comes after the announcement of United Relax Row.
The Relax Row seats come with a custom-fitted mattress, blankets, extra pillows and a toy for children.
These will be onboard its Boeing 787 and Boeing 777 widebody aircraft and are expected to be available from 2027.
Andrew Nocella, United’s Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer said: “The XLR is our newest aircraft and not only offers all-aisle access lie-flat seats in United Polaris but now also includes seats in Economy Plus with extra leg and elbow room.
“Our customers are going to love all these new options.”
