Johannesburg is a major travel hub, welcoming visitors from around the world while many local residents regularly travel both domestically and internationally. Earlier this year, the City of Gold was named the top South African destination for families in a new international study. For those planning their next trip, United Airlines has introduced a new seating option designed to make long-haul travel more comfortable.
The airline has unveiled upgraded Economy Plus seats.
What’s new?
One of the standout features is a custom-designed shared table that extends across an open middle seat, creating more room and making it easier for couples, families and friends travelling together to enjoy the journey.
The new seating will debut later this year and will be available on all All 50 of United's new Airbus A321XLR aircraft will include a special row in Economy Plus.
“We are investing nose to tail across our fleet and giving customers choice and value in every cabin,” said Andrew Nocella, United’s Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer.
“The XLR is our newest aircraft and not only offers all-aisle access lie-flat seats in United Polaris, but now also includes seats in Economy Plus with extra legroom and extra elbow room. Our customers are going to love all these new options.”
For travellers flying to and from Johannesburg, the new Economy Plus option offers a more comfortable alternative without the premium price tag of business class, making long journeys a little more enjoyable.
