United Airlines will roll out the 'Relax Row'—a three-seat economy row that folds into a flat couch—on more than 200 Boeing 787/777 aircraft by 2030, with a 2027 rollout. Each row includes a mattress pad, plush blanket and pillows, and families or solo travelers gain extra space, though pricing details are not disclosed and the airline holds exclusive North American rights to the design.
Sleeping on long-haul flights can be challenging, but there are several tips to help you get some rest. Relax your expectations and remember that even a short amount of light sleep can have benefits. Consider the timing of your flight, as nighttime flights make sleep easier. Be mindful of your consumption of caffeine and alcohol, as they can affect the quality of your sleep. Taking sleeping medication or melatonin is a personal choice, but consult with your doctor before doing so. Prepare for in-flight comfort by wearing comfy layers, packing eye shades and earplugs, and using a neck pillow for support. If you wake up and can't fall back asleep, take advantage of the in-flight entertainment and trust that your body will catch up on sleep when it can.
