At a time when flying seems like it can’t get any worse, there is finally a bit of good news.

United Airlines announced Tuesday that it’s rolling out a new kind of economy seating that can transform into a couch, giving passengers more room to stretch out or even sleep more comfortably on long-haul flights. The airline says it will be the first U.S.-based carrier to offer this kind of option for economy flyers.

The new setup is called the United Relax Row and is essentially a row of three seats with adjustable leg rests that fold up 90 degrees to create a flat, couch-like seat.

“Customers traveling in United Economy on long-haul flights deserve an option for more space and comfort, and this is one way we can deliver that for them,” said United Chief Commercial Officer Andrew Nocella in a press release.

The news comes as flying in the U.S. has become an increasingly hellish experience. While it’s never been particularly pleasant, this year, travelers are facing a new set of challenges. That includes price hikes tied to the war in the Middle East and long security lines driven by TSA staffing shortages, with some passengers waiting over three hours at certain airports. On top of that, a recent fatal crash at LaGuardia Airport in New York City has raised new safety concerns. So, any added comfort can’t come soon enough.

Unfortunately, United’s new couch seats are not expected to launch until 2027. The airline plans to install the seats on more than 200 Boeing 787 and 777 widebody aircraft by 2030. Each plane will feature up to 12 Relax Rows, between the economy and the premium plus sections.

United says the option is ideal for families with small children, couples, or solo travelers looking for extra space but still want the value of economy. But (and it’s a big but), the airline did not disclose pricing details for this new seat option. So we still don’t know how much of a value this would offer versus purchasing a first-class seat.

Passengers who book a Relax Row will also get extra amenities, including a custom-fitted mattress pad, a plush blanket, and two extra pillows. Passengers traveling with children will also receive a special travel kit and a plush toy.

While United is the first carrier to bring couch-style seating to the U.S., the concept itself isn’t entirely new. Airlines like Air New Zealand, All Nippon Airways, and Lufthansa have already introduced similar options. United says in its press release that it holds exclusive rights to the design in North America.
