United will also offer discounted entrance at United Club locations for customers travelling in United Premium Plus.

On board, premium flyers get a spacious seat with more legroom, elbow room and recline than a standard economy plus or economy seat, as well as a ‘hearty’ welcome meal, mid-flight snacks and a pre-arrival dining service.

Seats will also be equipped with individual power and USB outlets, dedicated overhead bins and extra storage for customers to keep devices at hand throughout their entire flight.

Customers will also receive an amenity kit, a Saks Fifth Avenue blanket and plush pillow, as well as noise-reducing headphones.
