[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn’t read the whole thread, but I REALLY doubt that United is going to shrink economy on most of their planes.  What business grows by shrinking their customer base?

Not sure where the yield/profit is greater on airlines- premium seats up front, or cheaper seats in the back?  I keep hearing where airlines really make their money is with credit cards.

I think United has a premium configured plane on a LAX-EWR route, but not sure if this still exists?  [/quote]

They tend to use older model premium cabin planes on some of their longer domestic routes. I've been on them to LA and Denver recently. One even had lie flat seats but was in a 2-4-2 layout with no privacy in the row of 4. Definitely wouldn't work for international flights these days. It wasn't very premium, I think I was able to upgrade for $200.[/quote]

United is retiring these high density domestically configured 777s by the end of 2027.
