United Airlines <\/strong>wednesday introduced a new domestic first class seat that includes a wireless charging station in every arm rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new United First seat \u2013 which also features vegan leather upholstery, 13-inch seatback screens and 18-inch tray tables, Bluetooth connectivity, privacy screens and an ergonomist-designed cushion \u2013 debuts on its first 737 this month, and customers will continue to see it rollout this summer. The airline expects the new seat to be on 200 domestic planes by 2026, including 737 NGs, A321neos and 737 MAXs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This new United First seat is designed around the modern traveler \u2013 more charging options, bigger spaces for devices, food, drinks and personal items and extra privacy,” said Mark Muren, United Managing Director of Identity, Product and Loyalty. “As we evolve the onboard experience, we’re upending old industry norms and anticipating future needs to accommodate the new ways people live and travel.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In each United First new seat, customers can enjoy the following features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charge Multiple Devices at Once<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Passengers can quickly charge their multiple electronic devices at once with three types of charging docks in each seat \u2013 wireless, AC household-style outlet and USB-C. The wireless charger is located in a compartment of the armrest to give the passenger line-of-sight to notifications and free their hands and tray table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Larger, User-Friendly Seatback Entertainment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A growing number of customers prefer a two-screen experience where they use a personal device and a seatback screen simultaneously, so United is upleveling the experience. The 13-inch, high-definition screens are Bluetooth capable and include a remote for those unable to reach the touch screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Space for Work and Relaxation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designated space for devices, food, drinks and more make it easier for passengers to enjoy the full experience. A larger, 18 x 8.5 inch tray table features a built-in tablet holder and enough space for most standard laptops. With authentic Italian quartzite cocktail tables and bottle holders between each seat, passengers don’t have to balance gadgets, drinks and snacks on one tray table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Private, Adjustable Seat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the large seats upholstered with vegan leather, passengers will experience more privacy with a 11 x 19-inch divider between neighbors, winged headrests and tray tables that deploy from outer armrests to reduce passenger contact. The seat features a 5-inch recline range, adjustable aisle arm rest that lowers completely and an ergonomist-designed seat cushion that sits 1-inch lower to accommodate a wider variety of heights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The announcement marks United’s first update to domestic first class seat design since 2015. The new United First seat was built with a team of experts, including United’s engineering and inflight teams, University of Michigan biomechanics researcher Dr. Matthew Reed and design firm Priestman Goode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
