That’s United’s extra leg room product which is distinct from their premium economy product. That product is only available on long haul flights.

Has anyone told these airlines that these new class names are confusing branding nightmares. Premium Economy? Economy Plus? Economy Comfort? Which one’s better? Who knows?

Reminds me of the ol’ USB High Speed vs. USB Full Speed. I still don’t remember which one is faster.

I had to name the speed settings on an old 802.11 radio link. Started with 1-10MBit with names like standard speed, full speed, high speed. Added mega speed, hyper speed, ultra speed, mondo speed, maxi-speed, ludicrous speed to get to 200MBit.

I am pretty sure it's their intention. Making products difficult to compare is marketing 101.

Don’t forget steerage, excuse me, basic economy.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a premium economy product on United and I fly 75K miles on them per year. There’s economy, economy plus, and either old-style business or, increasingly, Polaris even on domestic flights.

Added: Ah, haven’t seen it because it’s just starting to roll out on United.

United is still introducing “Premium Plus”, very few planes have the new seats.

Interesting. Didn’t know that. I know they’ve really been promoting Polaris. Didn’t know they were introducing something below it.

It's a really new addition to United's offerings. I flew LAX-SYD in November on a United 787 and that plane only had Economy Plus/slightly more legroom.
