United Airlines First Suite
United Airlines announced the introduction of enhanced nonstop service between Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and Tokyo's Narita International Airport beginning October 31 on aircraft equipped with the state-of-the-art United First Suite. The service marks United's first trans-Pacific flight featuring the new product. More than just a seat, the First Suite can transform from a relaxing personal space to an office, or into a comfortable, lie-flat, bed. United's International First Class cabins will be configured to contain 12 of the new First Suites, which will be arranged in a herringbone pattern for greater privacy and to allow direct aisle access from every seat. The First Suite was introduced onboard United 777 aircraft in March 1999.
