United Airlines has unveiled a new economy seating concept called 'Relax Row,' allowing passengers to transform a standard row of seats into a couch-like space on long-haul flights. The feature is designed to offer more comfort to travellers who want extra without paying for business class.

​According to People, the new setup consists of three adjacent economy seats fitted with adjustable leg rests that can be raised to create a flat surface suitable for lounging or sleeping. Passengers booking the option will also receive additional amenities, including a mattress pad, pillows, and blankets.
