Ups's Weekend Cargo Includes Vacationers From Packages To Passengers On 5 Jets. February 20, 2000
UPS has operated five of its planes as passenger aircraft since 1997 and has based two in Philadelphia since the spring of 1998 for the weekend use of Apple Vacations and Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines.

Snip...The UPS planes have 113 seats on an airplane that could hold 130, giving passengers one to three inches more legroom than they get in the coach section of most scheduled airlines. The planes' restrooms, installed three years ago, are larger and fresher than those on many scheduled carriers.
