Beginning next year, United Airlines will offer economy seats that convert into lie-flat "couches."
United just dropped a surprise announcement at today's media day that caused me to audibly gasp: new lie-flat-seat rows in economy, complete with enhanced bedding and a stuffed animal.
No, this isn't an early April Fools' Day joke. In fact, this sort of lie-flat-economy option has existed for years on international airlines by way of All Nippon Airways' Couchii and Air New Zealand's Skycouch, both of which my kids and I have enjoyed on long-haul trips.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
