In one of my previous post, Bunk Beds on a Plane, it was apparent that other leading airlines will not allow themselves to be left behind.
I guess this was what United Airlines was thinking as they are now offering full flat bed seats to their premium class passengers. Actually they will be the only US based airline that will be offering these seats to passengers in the first class and business class section.
The world’s second-largest airline by revenue-passenger-miles is spending ”hundreds of millions” of dollars to significantly upgrade its premium cabins to bring them on par with rivals, enabling it to better compete on lucrative international routes.
At the heart of the enhancement programme is the introduction of full flat-bed seats with advanced amenities that have become a new norm for premium-class passengers on long-haul international flights.
