United Considering 10-Abreast 777 Retrofits
United Airlines is considering creating a high-density Boeing 777 subfleet with 10 seats across--rather than nine--in regular economy class and a smaller than usual business class cabin, Aviation Week has learned. (aviationweek.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Remind me not to fly United.
Don't fly <insert carrier>. Consider yourself reminded. You're welcome.
Next half the Lav's will be fitted with PES and seatbelts and sold as "Ensuite Private Cabins."
It's United's new "Cattle Class" (insert trademark here)"...not to be confused with the "new" American's "Compact Class" 777-300s. Instead of the f/a's ushering people down the aisle with their words during boarding, they'll be issued metal prods instead, maybe even electric ones for those especially problematic flights.
Have travelled in both first and economy on 777's. Choice of seating is always based upon duration of flight. To and from Asia[which I did last October-west bound to Singapore and return from Beijing] or the South Pacific from Florida begs First/Business Class if it can be afforded. Flying business class to Barcelona in October.
The 1% up front really do not care about the fate of the 99% in the back of the bus. I will be interested to see how the "Premium Economy" continues to morph.
