United Airlines has announced a new seating option for long-haul called the United Relax Row, a set of Economy seats that can be turned into a sort of sofa for additional comfort, with a particular focus on family travel. The option will launch in 2027 and roll out onboard over 200 Boeing 787 and 777 aircraft by 2030, with up to 12 row between United Economy and United Premium Plus per aircraft.
The new experience takes a row of three seats fitted with adjustable leg rests than can be completely raised and used to stretch out or having more sleeping space. In addition to reserving the row, the experience also comes with additional amenities, including a fitted mattress pad, a blanket, two pillows, as well as a toy and Children’s Travel Kit.
“As a leading premium airline, we’re committed to delivering new, industry-leading experiences for all of our customers – and the United Relax Row is the perfect example of that. Customers travelling in United Economy on long-haul flights deserve an option for more space and comfort, and this is one way we can deliver that for them,” said Andrew Nocella, United’s Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer.
“United is the only North American airline offering a product like the United Relax Row and is one of the many reasons why we’re continuing to win brand loyal customers.”
