Last Friday, 4thMay, United Airlines became the only US carrier offering 180-degree flat-bed seats and personal on-demand entertainment in premium cabins on every scheduled, long-haul international flight from the New York area.
United has outfitted 182 international aircraft with all-new Global First and BusinessFirst cabins. With more than 450 daily departures to more than 150 cities, United offers the most non-stop flights to the most destinations around the world from New York’s three major airports – Newark Liberty, Kennedy and LaGuardia.
