American Airlines Adds Passengers by Using Lavatory Doors for Seating

American Airlines is modifying its Airbus A319 aircraft to add an extra first class row without increasing overall capacity, resulting in reduced legroom and the removal of seat-back entertainment screens. The airline is also squeezing lavatories and galley space, including installing jump seats on lavatory doors, contradicting previous promises by former CEO Doug Parker that they would not do so. These changes aim to increase revenue but have raised concerns about passenger and crew comfort.

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.
