United Airlines has reimagined its business class cabins for the first time in more than ten years.
The new design of the business class cabins will feature "suite-like pods" with seats that can lie completely flat to form beds. Measuring six feet and six inches in length, the seat-turned-beds are extremely large and would not have trouble accommodating most people. The cabins feature mood lighting and each flyer will be offered blankets, pillows, slippers and even sleepwear. With the many accommodations and features these business class areas offer, it is difficult to differentiate them from the features in more expensive first class cabins.
The airline chose to revamp their business class cabins in order to offer an exceptional experience and make themselves more competitive on an international scale.
