You can take a shortcut to comfort with this option from United Mileage Plus. When you buy a year’s worth of access to Economy Plus seating along with a Red Carpet Club airport lounge membership, you get $100 off the cost of buying them separately, $749.

Economy Plus seating provides up to five extra inches of legroom near the front of the coach cabin. With the Economy Plus annual option, you and a guest traveling with you on the same itinerary can reserve the Economy Plus seating at the time you book your flights. With a Red Carpet Club membership, you have access to 40 Red Carpet Club lounges worldwide as well as reciprocal club privileges when traveling on Star Alliance member airlines and with the US Airways Club.
