"I hope I snag the middle seat!" said no traveler ever.
We all know as soon as we step onto the plane, we have to squish in like a pack of sardines, so United is aiming to solve one of travel's biggest inconveniences: finding more elbow room without tapping into your 401(k).
The latest upgrade for the Chicago-based carrier has travelers asking if it's worth forking over more money, as airfare has reportedly seen a 27% increase over the past year or so.

Whether it's your first time zooming through the clouds or your weekly business commute, we all wish our middle-seat neighbor would magically disappear. Conversely, middle-seat passengers probably wish they could be just about anywhere else.
United's new plan is to add a new option to its "Economy Plus" class, replacing the middle seat with a shared table more commonly found on trains.
But wait, there's more! United isn't stopping there.
Not only will passengers be able to score extra space without upgrading to first or business class, they can soon take advantage of "United Relax Rows," slated for 2027.
Economy travelers on select wide-body Boeing aircraft will be able to turn a row of three seats into a couch, making it easier to sleep or simply kick back after takeoff.
In a statement released Tuesday, United Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer Andrew Nocella said the airline is "investing nose-to-tail across our fleet," adding that the new offerings provide customers with more "choice and value in every cabin."
Pricing has not been announced for either new concept.

You may have heard how Europe's largest airline Ryanair planned to offer standing-room-only seats at bargain bin prices.
While that may not even qualify as seating at all, U.S. airlines tend to play it safe when it comes to rethinking the flying experience, which is why United's latest innovation could be such a game-changer.
The popular airline will be the "the only U.S. airline" with any kind of special seating — and since they fly practically anywhere you point out on a map, that makes it even more enticing to bid adieu to armrest wars.
