Our Reading
The escape is carefully planned.
United Airlines’ Relax Row offers a unique economy seating experience with lie-flat “couches” and enhanced amenities. The seats are designed for families with small children, but solo travelers can also book them. The Relax Row will be available on select aircraft, including the Boeing 787 and 777.
As with other airlines’ similar products, the Relax Row will likely be available as an add-on fee to economy seats. The exact upcharge will depend on the number of people sharing the row.
United’s introduction of the Relax Row is part of a larger effort to enhance its economy class offerings, including the introduction of new Polaris Studios and luxe new planes.
Because who doesn’t want to pay extra for a slightly more comfortable economy seat?
