United Airlines Unveils Details About Its New International First Class Suite
United Focuses on Providing Premium Customers With Luxury International, Overseas Travel Experience.
CHICAGO-- United Airlines has unveiled initial details about the previously announced $165 million upgrade to its international widebody fleet that includes a new luxurious United First Suite, which provides passengers with more privacy, personal space and comfort on overseas flights. The new suite was designed to be the optimal space to work, sleep or relax while enjoying the latest entertainment and exclusive amenities.
"Our premium customers have told us what would make them more relaxed and comfortable, and we're using their feedback to shape our new first class products and services," said Graham Atkinson, United's executive vice president and chief customer officer. "Our goal is to improve space, amenities and services, so we can enhance the entire international premium travel experience on United, from check-in to arrival."
The new First Suite is nearly three inches wider than the existing, popular United First Suite and reclines to multiple angles or serves as a fully flat 6-foot, 6-inch bed.
United Airlines (NASDAQ:UAUA) operates more than 3,700 flights a day on United, United Express and Ted to more than 210 U.S. domestic and international destinations from its hubs in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver, Chicago and Washington, D.C. With key global air rights in the Asia-Pacific region, Europe and Latin America, United is one of the largest international carriers based in the United States.
