@techradar: Yes, United’s new A321XLR ✈️ is nearly here, and it sports a first for the airline: Economy Plus with an open middle seat. There are only two rows with this setup as United tests it. You still get the extra legroom you expect from Economy Plus, but instead of a seat in the middle, there’s a bolted-in metal tray with two cupholders — one for the aisle and one for the window — plus a plush leather pad and, most importantly, maximum elbow room. Would you pay extra for this? 👀 #unitedairlines #extralegroom #airplane #airplaneseats @United Airlines

They only removed the middle seats so they didn’t have to hire more flight attendants. Complete bs. They will charge us more and not pay the attendants more. Speak the truth, it has nothing to do with customer satisfaction

Does not make no sense if you remove chair make chair bigger nice trick wait until nobody pays and they will remove simple metal and sell seat again

So now you have to fight the person for the middle seat, amenities tray. People laying up on that seat. Who does it belong to. I mean it does work right if you are a couple and have than area

This is just spin. They will eventually find a way to charge us for air.

Guessing they doubled the price for each of those seats and are making more money than if they just sold the middle seat. And all the suckers flying think they got something great.
