First Class

Luxury seating with spacious legroom and priority boarding at check-ins, these are just a few of our favorite things.


The most legroom in any U.S. domestic airline. Period.

Settle into our spacious, custom-designed Recaro leather seats with power outlets, generous recline, and up to a 41" seat pitch*. We added thoughtful new details like footrests, ergonomic headrests, and device holders. It’s First Class done right.

*Compared to other U.S. airlines’ standard (non-lie flat) first class seats on flights within the U.S.
