Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, and American Airlines are making subtle changes to their widebody premium cabins in 2026. According to Simple Flying, the carriers are not just adding more lie-flat business class seats. They are dividing the space between the cockpit and economy class into more carefully defined products, which gives travelers additional ways to pay for a better seat without expanding the most expensive cabin.
