Two Economy Plus rows with no middle seats Just a few months back, I got to go inside United’s next-generation Boeing 787 Dreamliner , complete with a high-tech new interior, spacious seats, and some notable upgrades for Economy.

Plug-in solar kits become legal in the UK from August 27 , which makes that date a pretty significant one in the UK's energy history. That's because these kits are, in theory, a much more affordable and user-friendly way to bring the bill-cutting benefits of solar power to your home. The UK government estimates that plug-in panels could save households up to £70-£110 a year on their energy bills.

Instead, as their name suggests, you can theoretically plug them directly into your mains electricity, and place them outdoors in places l...
