Overview
- United, which made the reveal Tuesday at a Los Angeles media event, plans a 2027 debut and installation on 200-plus Boeing 787s and 777s by 2030.
- Relax Row is a set of three adjacent economy seats with leg rests that flip up to 90 degrees after takeoff to create a near-flat, couch-like surface.
- United says the row targets families with young children, couples, and solo travelers who want more room to sleep or stretch out on long-haul flights.
- The sections will sit between standard Economy and United Premium Plus, with up to 12 per aircraft and an average of nine depending on layout.
- Pricing and booking rules have not been announced; United claims North American exclusivity on the design, which echoes Air New Zealand’s Skycouch concept.
