United has announced its newest United Economy class innovation which includes a row of Economy Plus seats on its new Airbus A321XLR aircraft with extra elbow room and access to a shared table across an open middle seat.
The special row is expected to be available on all 50 of United’s new Airbus A321XLR aircraft with seats available for sale later this year.
The introduction follows the airline’s recently announced United Relax Row which will feature multiple rows of seats on its Boeing 787 and Boeing 777 widebody aircraft that transform into a couch and available in early 2027.
Andrew Nocella, United’s Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, said:
“We’re investing nose-to-tail across our fleet and giving customers choice and value in every cabin,”
“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.”
