United plans lie-flat premium product on 737 Max 10s

United Airlines is testing a lie-flat premium product for the Boeing 737 Max 10, as part of a plan to expand its domestic premium transcontinental offering. The 737s with lie-flat first class seats would allow the Chicago-based carrier to offer its premium domestic product in more markets where it sees demand, as well as replace its fleet of aging premium domestic Boeing 757s, United president Scott Kirby says at the Boyd Group International Aviation Forecast Summit in Denver."It's been really successful in the markets that we have it in," he says on United's lie-flat domestic offerings today. "There are other markets out of Newark and Washington Dulles that we would like to have it but we simply don't have airplanes to do it today."
