United First is offered on all domestically configured United aircraft. When such aircraft are used on international services, the premium cabin is branded as United Business. The cabin features a seat similar to the original international Business First seat, but without the personal reading lamps, entertainment units, or leg rests. The seats have a 38 in (96.5 cm) pitch (37" on newer A319's and 737's and 39" on newer A320's due to the new slim line seats, and 53" on domestic configured 777's), and passengers receive priority boarding and baggage handling, pre-departure beverages, free meals and separate check-in desks.
Economy Plus is available on all aircraft in the domestic and international fleet, as well as United Express aircraft equipped with a first class cabin (CR7's, Embraer E-Jet's and some Bombardier Q400's). Economy Plus seats are located in the front few rows, including bulkheads, and over wing exit rows of the economy cabin and have 2 inches more recline and at least 5 inches of additional seat pitch (6 inches on some planes) totalling 4-7 inches of recline (aircraft dependent) and approximately 36 inches of pitch (35 inches on newer configured Airbus A319/A320s and 37 inches on Boeing 787s due to the economy pitch on those planes). Economy Plus is available for free to all MileagePlus Elite members. 1K, Platinum and Gold members may select an Economy Plus seat when booking. Silver members can select an Economy Plus seat at check-in. It can also be purchased depending upon availability by other passengers. United kept the "Economy Plus" seating for the combined carrier after the merger.
