United Airlines is preparing a major cabin refurbishment programme for its fleet of 21 Boeing 757-300 aircraft. The upgrade is expected to improve passenger comfort by introducing seatback entertainment screens, updated seating and larger overhead storage bins.
The reported refurbishment includes Panasonic entertainment screens at every seat, a new in-seat power system, refreshed seats, redesigned cabin dividers and headers, along with updated United branding.
The aircraft will also receive Boeing Space Bins, offering passengers additional space for carry-on luggage. The installation may have taken time because these larger bins were not previously certified for the Boeing 757-300.
United’s Boeing 757-300s have an average age of 23.3 years and accommodate 234 passengers. They operate several busy routes, including Chicago O’Hare–San Francisco, Los Angeles–Chicago and Washington Dulles–San Francisco.
