Compared to some other carriers, inflight services on United Airways have always been a little lacking. They don't have a neat touch-screen entertainment system, limited inflight WiFi and no live TV or radio. Thankfully, they do have two perks you don't find on any of the other domestic carriers - increased legroom in part of the cabin and the ability to listen in on cockpit communications.
As part of their merger with Continental, the new airline plans to introduce their Economy Plus seating to Continental aircraft.
Economy Plus is by no means a replacement for a business class cabin, but the 5 extra inches of leg room are usually quite welcome. What was once a perk reserved for their frequent fliers, has quickly become a new way for the airline to make money - charging up to $425 a year for unlimited access to the extra legroom. Individual flight upgrades to Economy Plus start at just $9 (for short flights).
Still, the airline has to be applauded for committing to this decent perk. The full press release is after the jump.
