United's Triple Seven(th) Heaven
United adds Boeing's latest generation Boeing 777 aircraft, the 777-300ER, to its fleet for 2017 The 777-300ER's modern, spacious cabin will be the first to feature the all-new United Polaris direct-aisle seats, part of the airline's sleep-enhancing business class experience (newsroom.united.com) Más...No thanks, United. I'll keep paying a bit more to fly Korean Air to Asia and enjoying their 3-3-3, 18" wide, 34" pitch seats.
Must one pay to use the overhead bins?
As I suspected, the business class enhancements will come at the price of a downgraded experience in economy. I'm not a wide person, but ten seats across in economy makes for a misery for anything more than a two-hour flight.
Sad to see an amazing aircraft like the 777 being used by United, what an awful waste!
3-4-3 in Economy (Plus and otherwise) sounds more like hell than heaven to me.
However, American also has it on their B77W and retrofitted B772's. Also many other international carries have taken delivery of their B77W's with 3-4-3 seating, so United is not doing anything that hasn't been done by others.
It's just a shame that airlines just don't care about the comfort of passengers in the main cabin anymore. It's all about profit at the expense of their customers.
