    "We will offer a better and more consistent experience, with more features and faster than ever before," said Andrew Nocella, United's EVP and Chief Commercial Officer. "While some airlines are reducing the number of economy seats with extra legroom, United will offer the most premium seats in North America, taking a different, more customer-focused approach." United plans to introduce more than 500 new narrow-body aircraft: 40 in 2022, 138 in 2023, and up to 350 in 2024 and beyond. This means that in 2023 alone, United's fleet, on average, will add about one new narrow-body aircraft every three days.

    The plan of United will give customers access to more modern seats and aircraft while reducing flights using smaller single-class regional jets. These new aircraft will give customers even more options for flying between U.S. cities, including some new destinations. United also plans to resume its full schedule of flights from Newark by November 2021.

    At the center is always entertainment. In fact, there is free access to more than 2800 films, TV programs and international selections. Also present are music playlists, podcasts, and video games. Customers can also watch documentaries and live concerts through United's exclusive partnership with the Coda Collection. Each seat has access to power supply and USB charging ports, and accessibility is provided for people with visual or hearing disabilities. Every new 737 MAX and A321neo will have the industry's fastest available in-flight Wi-Fi that will allow customers to stream video from online services.
