Our p.s.® Premium Service flights offer an international product for an exceptional transcontinental travel experience between New York (JFK) and Los Angeles (LAX) or San Francisco (SFO).
We’ve started the process of reconfiguring our p.s. fleet to bring an international level of premium cabin service to our p.s. transcontinental routes within the U.S. This transformation will bring the features and comfort of our p.s. travel experience to new heights. Customers who have enjoyed our current level of service on p.s. flights will find that they can expect the same attention to detail, along with some significantly enhanced amenities. Some of the enhancements include:
- Completely reconfigured aircraft with fully refreshed interiors and all-new seating
- Full 180-degree flat-bed seats in United BusinessFirst®, replacing angled lie-flat and recliner seats in United First® and United Business®
- All-new United Economy seats with more legroom than before in Economy Plus
- Complimentary in-seat personal on-demand entertainment and standard power ports will be available in all seats
While we are bringing our current p.s. aircraft to the new international-style configuration, through a transition period scheduled to continue until the end of 2013, it is necessary for us to have multiple versions of our 757-200 aircraft serving these routes. As a result, you may find some differences in our aircraft and onboard amenities on p.s. flights, including the use of our internationally configured 757-200 aircraft for some flights. This aircraft configuration features flat-bed seats in United Business and personal on-demand entertainment in all cabins but currently does not offer Wi-Fi service.
You can find out which aircraft type is scheduled on an upcoming flight by viewing seat maps on united.com. Please note, however, that unforeseen circumstances may on rare occasion lead to a change in the aircraft serving a particular flight.
Below are details regarding the features and amenities of both the original three-cabin p.s. fleet and the new two-cabin layout. Please note that the information below does not relate to the international 757-200 aircraft that will serve these routes on an interim basis throughout the fleet transition period.
