Why Should You Choose United Polaris Business Class?
Why opt for United Polaris Business Class? Because there are countless arguments in favor of this luxurious way of traveling. Need a little convincing? Consider the following:
Airport Experience
Make the most of your time at the airport by treating yourself to United Polaris Business Class. Premier Access means you can sail through security and enjoy priority check-in and baggage handling – no sweat.
Got a long journey ahead? Prepare for take-off in one of our United Polaris lounges at selected airports including Chicago O’Hare and San Francisco International.
Take a refreshing shower with premium products from Therabody, a power nap in a private resting area (complete with a daybed and sound-masking system), or tuck into tasty dishes from the buffet or à la carte dining.
United Polaris lounges provide a serene sanctuary for discerning travelers seeking wellness, pleasure, or nourishment before their flight. Access is also available to other United ClubSM lounges when a United Polaris lounge isn’t present at your departure airport.
Comfortable Seats
United Airlines boasts a wide array of business class seats on its long-haul fleet, all designed to offer flyers exceptional comfort and luxury. On the Boeing 777-200ER, for example, Polaris Business Class seating features a contemporary style alongside fully lie-flat beds – ideal for getting some great sleep on overnight flights.
Couples traveling together at the pointy end of United’s Boeing 777-300ERs will love sitting side by side thanks to the generous 1-2-1 layout in the middle section of odd-numbered rows. With a whopping 60 seats in total, this is the largest business class cabin across United’s fleet.
Individual travelers may prefer the private pods offered on board United’s Boeing 767-300s. Here, passengers have their own space regardless of whether they nab a window or aisle seat (there are no middle spots). It’s worth noting, however, that pairs flying together won’t be able to chat as easily compared to when sitting right beside each other.
Even though United is still in the process of upgrading its Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner jets to include Polaris Business Class seats, passengers on board the newer Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner can expect a Business Class cabin that’s slightly smaller than usual, with seats arranged in sets of three.
Meanwhile, United’s smallest widebody fleet – made up of Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners – has just 28 roomy Business Class seats for extra privacy and comfort.
No matter which type of plane you’re flying on, all United widebody aircraft have lie-flat beds in Business Class so that customers can get really good sleep during long-haul flights.
Some older planes still have outdated seat styles, though. Think of them as open rows rather than individual pods. One example is the aging Boeing 777-200ERs, where not every seat up front has had an upgrade (yet).
Exquisite Dining
Enjoy delicious food from around the world when you fly United Polaris Business Class. Their menu has been redesigned just for you. You can choose from a range of tasty dishes – there’s something for everyone.
Your main meal comes with warm mixed nuts, a fresh salad and breads. And don’t forget dessert! They have a selection of sundaes that they’ll prepare especially for you.
If you get peckish later on, they have snacks available throughout the cabin on longer flights. And if you’re still hungry, their mid-flight dining service will hit the spot!
Prefer not to be disturbed? Opt for express dining service: order everything in one go or pick and choose as you like – they’ll personalize your tray accordingly.
Enjoy complimentary alcoholic beverages throughout your flight, too. It’s all part of your experience.
In-Flight Entertainment
Experience a whole new level of enjoyment when you fly with United Airlines. With our Private Screening service, we have something just for you to make your flight even better.
If your aircraft has seatback entertainment systems, you can pick from lots of different films and TV programs – plus games, too. There’s also info about the weather, where you’re heading, and how the journey’s going on the flight map.
If you’d like more choice when it comes to watching or doing stuff, check out personal device entertainment. You can stream TV shows and flicks (we’ve got a bunch of both), as well as enjoy internet access for gaming and browsing on your own smartphone, tablet, or laptop.
And here’s something really cool. With DIRECTV, they offer over 100 channels of live television programs (including sports and news) as well as new Hollywood blockbusters to customers high in the sky.
Amenities
Your comfort and well-being are top priorities in the United Polaris Business Class. That is why they’ve partnered with Therabody to create amenity kits that enhance your journey.
Each kit contains luxury essentials like eye serum, facial spray, and hand cream. Plus, it has cozy socks, earplugs, and an eye mask to help you create the perfect environment for sleep or relaxation.
You can also unwind with a specially curated relaxation channel featuring content from Therabody – and slip into a pair of super-soft slippers while you watch!
Getting a good night’s sleep has never been easier. All their seats recline into fully flat beds and come with bedding designed exclusively for us by Saks Fifth Avenue. This includes mattress cushions (available on request) for an extra-comfy snooze.
And if you’re flying for over 14 hours, they’ll give you complimentary pajamas so you can really settle down and chill out.
Bottom Line
With its flawless service, lavish perks, and top-notch comfort, United Polaris Business Class is the gold standard for high-end travel. The airline goes above and beyond to surpass fliers’ expectations in every way possible.
Think gourmet dining experiences, curated entertainment selection, and amenity kits stocked with products you actually want to use.
Whether you’re craving a good sleep (in a flat-bed seat that reclines all the way) or a good meal (not your average airplane fare), why settle? When you can have both!
Experience luxury in the skies like never before aboard United Airlines’ Polaris Business Class cabin. Here, every detail has been carefully considered to ensure an unforgettable trip.
