If you hate the middle seat on a plane, you probably won’t like the new seat configuration on United Airlines Boeing 777s.

The Chicago-based company announced that it is the latest carrier to reconfigure the seating on the Boeing 777-200 to add 21 additional seats.



For the record: A previous version of this story said United plans to configure 90 Boeing 777-200s with rows of 10 seats in the economy section. The carrier said it plans to configure 90 aircraft with Polaris first-class seats but not all of them will have economy sections with rows of 10 seats.

The plane, to be used starting this winter primarily for long-haul flights, will have 50 lie-flat business class seats — known as Polaris seats — and 242 economy seats.
