United Airlines has just made a series of passenger experience announcements. I already covered how United will soon take delivery of Airbus A321XLRs, which will operate long haul, international flights, primarily to Europe and South America.
What’s interesting is that this isn’t the only premium A321 variant that United is introducing, as United is also planning a similar subfleet of Airbus A321neos, which will be used for premium transcontinental flights. While we unofficially learned about this several weeks ago thanks to a leak from JonNYC, we now have all the details of what to expect.
United has been the exception by not offering access to its more premium lounges on premium transcontinental flights, as transcon flights just got access to United Clubs. That contrasts to American Flagship Lounge access and Delta One Lounge access for premium transcontinental flights at the carrier’s two biggest competitors. So that’s a great development.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
