United Continental to make premium push
Feb. 6, 2019 7:51 AM • SA Editor Clark Schultz
- United Airlines (NASDAQ:UAL) says it will add 1.6K premium seats to about 250 international and domestic aircraft as part of a push for a bigger slice of the premium market.
- The new premium seating initiative will include first-class cabins on 50 Bombardier regional jets and more first class seats on its Airbus A-320s.
Our long national nightmare is over.

Please update the original post:
Why doesn’t UA increase F seating from 8 to 12 orto 16? It’s appalling when regional jets like 175/190 have more the same F capacity than this mainline aircraft!

F Seating disparity
A-319: 8 seats
CRJ 175 has 12
My point was that some regional jets have 50% more F than mainline. No need to mince words, the point is clear. Thankfully UA understood this dilemma and is finally fixing it. First time UA leads AA and DL in a LONG TIME.

I recall when C
went form 24 to 12 F seats on the 753 ... that enhancement was later reverted. I'm glad to see the A319 change here.
