For passengers wanting a bit more comfort without stepping into premium cabins, Economy Plus is an excellent option. This upgraded seating on United Airlines provides up to 6 inches of extra legroom and is located closer to the front of the aircraft for quicker exit upon landing. Ideal for business travelers or taller individuals, Economy Plus offers the same in-flight amenities as regular economy but with added personal space. This upgrade is available at booking or check-in and is complimentary for certain MileagePlus elite members. It’s a middle-ground choice that balances value and convenience well.
