United Airlines Boeing B787-8 Dreamliner seat review by plefloch #36536

United Airlines is standardizing its seats to 17 width. This is fine if no one is seated next to you, but hellish if the person is larger than 17, which is the case for many fully-grown men. Delta is standardizing at 18 inches on its long haul jets. 34 in of legroom is good enough to place thick books or headsets yet still providing leg crossing opportunities. New video screens are large and good touch-sensitivity, have a trickle charge USB port and automatically darken 10 min at the end of movies to not be awaken by the glare.
