United Adds Blocked Middle Seat Economy Plus (abc7.com)

United Airlines will sell a new Economy Plus fare with a fully blocked middle seat on its Airbus A321XLR aircraft starting later this year. The row features custom tables spanning armrest to armrest with two cup indentations, adding to the three inches of extra legroom already offered. The option keeps the XLR within 150-passenger capacity, requiring four flight attendants instead of five, and follows the Relax Row lie-flat seats coming to 90 Boeing 787 and 777 planes in 2027.
