UNITED lancia la RELAX ROW, una serie di file (fino a 12, il numero varia ovviamente da modello a modello) che saranno installate su 777 e 787 a partire dal 2027 e ubicate tra Economy e Premium; in sostanza la fila da 3 posti sara' caratterizzata da poggiapiedi che si alzano fino a 90°, permettendo la creazione di un letto a 180° ottimale per chi viaggia con bambini o anche da solo, quindi applicabile a 1, 2 o 3 passeggeri. La fee sara' on-top della tariffa.
Non e' chiaro ancora come funzioni con i sistemi di sicurezza (cinture) e prevedo piu' agitazione dei bambini; per un single pax potrebbe invece essere una svolta, sempre che la fee (son 3 posti!) + la tariffa valga la candela rispetto a un posto in Premium (che pero' non e' un lie-flat) o Polaris.
Descrizione, qualche immagine e video:
A couch in the sky? Sounds dreamy! Today, we announced the United Relax Row – a more comfortable alternative for families traveling in Economy with small children or customers seeking more room to lie flat on long-haul flights.
The United Relax Row allows a set of seats to transform into a couch. The row of three seats is outfitted with individually adjustable leg rests that fold up at a 90-degree angle, allowing for more room to sleep or stretch out. We will offer up to 12 United Relax Row sections on each plane — located between our Premium Plus and Economy cabins.
The conversion of the seats into the United Relax Row format will be carried out by customers. These passengers will also receive an additional set of amenities, including: a custom-fitted mattress pad, a plush blanket, two additional pillows and a Children’s Travel Kit with a plush toy.
We’re the first North American airline to offer this kind of seating option and hold North American exclusivity on the design.
“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," EVP & Chief Commercial Officer Andrew Nocella. "Customers traveling 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."
The feature is set to launch in 2027 with plans to offer it on more than 200 Boeing 787 and 777 widebody aircraft by 2030. The seats will be located between United Economy and United Premium Plus®, and we will offer up to 12 United Relax Row sections on each plane.
