American and United add premium economy to Airbus A321XLR, others opt out
Based on · First reported
Sources
- American Airlines and United Airlines are the only carriers that have installed premium‑economy sections on the Airbus A321XLR, which seats a total of 155 passengers with 20 business suites, 12 premium‑economy recliners and 123 economy seats.
- The aircraft is currently operated by six airlines, while Air Canada, Aer Lingus, Iberia and Qantas have chosen not to offer premium‑economy on the type; Qantas runs the highest‑density A321XLR with 200 seats, and the limited number of lavatories on the aircraft can cause long queues for economy travelers.
