United Airlines' customers will now be able to
relax just a little more easily, as the final Boeing 767 in its
international fleet has been upgraded with fully lie-flat beds in
United First and United Business.
“Our customers
have been telling us for many months how comfortable and enjoyable
their travels have been with our new first and business class
service,” said Graham Atkinson, executive vice president of
Marketing and president of Mileage Plus. “Completing the
reconfiguration of our Boeing 767 fleet marks a major milestone for our
customers on the path to complete relaxation and comfort.”
The Boeing 767 with nose number 6463 took its first
international flight as United Flight 958 from Chicago O’Hare to
London Heathrow on Friday. Customers at the front of the cabin had
the opportunity to sleep more comfortably in the new flat-bed
seats and enjoy hours of their own personal entertainment choices
on a 15.4-inch personal television screen.
United
has completed 18 of 24 aircraft in its Boeing 747 fleet and will begin
reconfiguring its international Boeing 777 fleet in September. The
entire international fleet will be complete by the fourth quarter
of 2011.
