United’s quirky Economy Plus sales options

17 August 2022 By Seth Miller Leave a Comment

So many gorgeous IFE screens on board this new United Airlines 737 MAX 8, plus hundreds more aircraft to come

United Airlines is expanding access to its Economy Plus extra leg room seating option. The carrier now offers passengers the option to purchase it directly in search results, appearing akin to a distinct class of service between economy class and business or first class on board. But it is not a different cabin of service. And that’s just one of the ways the implementation is a wee bit wonky.

What to expect on board as United’s new CRJ550 takes flight

27 October 2019 By Seth Miller 1 Comment

Removing nearly 30% of the seats from an aircraft is guaranteed to make the remaining product a more comfortable experience.
