United Airlines is trying to attract flyers with another luxury: an empty middle seat. The Chicago-based carrier plans to roll out new “Economy Plus” seats with no neighbor in the middle spot — and instead use the space for a shared table between the aisle and window travelers.

United Airlines is transforming the middle seat into a new seating option on its new XLR aircraft.

United Airlines will allow customers to pay more to keep the middle seat open on its Airbus A321XLRs
