United Airlines Introduces Revolutionary Upgrades to First-Class Experience

United Airlines has unveiled its first new first-class seat in nearly a decade, featuring improved technology such as armrest wireless charging stations and winged headrests. The seats will have an 11-by-19-inch barrier between them and will be arranged in a two-by-two configuration. United, along with other airlines like Delta and JetBlue, has been upgrading its premium cabin offerings to attract high-paying passengers. However, supply chain delays have hindered these efforts. The new first-class seats will be introduced on a Boeing 737 this month and are expected to be installed on 200 narrow-body aircraft by 2026.

United Airlines' Narrow-Body Cabin Revamp Delayed by Supply Chain Issues

United Airlines' plan to revamp the cabins on its older narrow-body planes is facing delays due to supply chain strains. The upgrades include bigger premium cabins, seat-back entertainment screens throughout the planes, Bluetooth capabilities, and other amenities. The airline previously expected to have 100 of its narrow-body planes retrofitted with the new interiors by the end of the year but now expects 60 will be complete by then. United has also said it expects to have more premium seats for sale for each departure than any other airline in North America by 2026.
