  • Update means economy-class layout will feature 10-abreast seating in a three-four-three configuration compared to its current two-five-two
  • Retrofit will also include upgrades such as in-seat power outlets throughout the cabin and the aircraft will be Wi-Fi enabled
  • United plans to begin the retrofitting in May and have it completed by 2017 
  • United Airlines has confirmed plans to reconfigure several of its Boeing 777 airliners to accommodate 10 seats across each row (bottom) instead of nine (top) in its economy class on domestic routes
  • The layout will reportedly mean a reduction in elbow room as seat width decreases from 18 inches to 17 inches, but leg room should not be affected"
