United is Ditching the Middle Seat on Some Planes

They announced its new airbus jets will have a new type of seating in the economy plus cabin.

Good news for frequent flyers…United Airlines wants passengers to have more comfortable seating options.

They announced its new airbus jets will have a new type of seating in the economy plus cabin — a row without a middle seat passenger. Instead, there will be a fixed table in between the two seats. It will give passengers in the row more elbow room. United says the new fleet of airbus will begin flying internationally by early next year — and the seating design will be available for purchase later this year. United will be the first known U.S. carrier to offer it.
