United Airlines introducing thinner, lighter seats

wls
By ABC7
October 3, 2013

The new seats are thinner and lighter. That cuts weight and that cuts fuel costs.

The airline says they are more ergonomic and provide more support.

United did not say if it will use the thinner design to fit more seats on flights.
