Booked 2 Polaris seats from Lax to Sydney and return Brisbane to San Fran in a few weeks! Booked the 2 straight forward odd row seats next to each other! Can't wait to experience it! Great video!

I have my first-ever Polaris flight this Saturday! 10.5 hrs, out of EWR. Can't wait - getting to the airport 5 hrs early to properly take advantage of everything. I've flown domestic first and northern South America business class a bunch of times, but never Polaris (I'll also be flying Swiss lie-flat and Ethiopian lie-flat for comparison)

Great video. I've flown Polaris several times. The first two times I did not go to the lounge. Huge mistake. Now I book longer layovers in cities that have the Polaris Lounge just to enjoy it.

There's nothing better than a great lounge to relax in!

the part about the seat configuration was so helpful thank you!!! I did not notice it in the seat map at all until you mentioned it, then I saw that the aisle seats look a little inclined. Great video

A lot of issues are resolved when you recognize that Polaris is a class of service and not a cabin type. The B787s fly on domestic routes; when they do, it’s not the Polaris class of service, even though it’s a lie flat seat. Similarly, the B772s with the dense front cabin generally fly on non-Polaris routes. You’ll see them performing flights to Hawaii in the winter months. The Polaris Lounge is the key point and I’d make sure you get to the airport in plenty of time to use it. DEN is rumored to be getting a lounge “soon.” Finally, if you’re flying into a hub airport without a forward connection, you can’t use the Polaris lounge on arrival (DUB is the exception as it has preclearance). I often connect through SFO, as it gives me a chance to use the lounge there and again at LAX, if you so desire. I should mention too that if you fly into LHR in Polaris, you have access to an arrivals lounge, or you can get breakfast and have a shower. It’s a great facility that’s under used. Keep that one in mind too!

LHR arrivals lounge only lets you in if you arrive at the lounge before noon. Flight delayed? Big line at Customs? Too bad so sad.

Okay, so great video! We are flying Polaris to Singapore overnight and daytime Premium Plus on the return next spring. We want to experience both. However, if United offers a sweet deal to upgrade then we may consider it.

I have flown Polaris several times due to having flight benefits. It is nice, cant deny that. However, I could never justify the price of these tickets. Too each their own.

Is the preflight meal choice available for Hawaiian flights? we're booked on Polaris SFO-HNL and I can't find on United's website where to order the meal. We're flying the end of September.

Well, you’ve sold me on Polaris :) Are there many 14+ hour flights that united do?

Great question. I don’t know the entire list of 14+hour flights but at one point they had the longest flight. I believe it was San Francisco to Singapore

I think the full list it: SFO/LAX - Melbourne/Brisbane/Sydney/HongKong/Singapore/New Delhi, IAH - Sydney, ORD - Shanghai, EWR/IAD - Tokyo/Mumbai/New Delhi/Dubai/Cape Town. And yes they advertised as the longest but Singapore Airlines was flying the same route @@Roamaroo

Please fly business on other airlines before praising united Polaris. EG ANA has a bigger area, more pleasant flight attendants, more accommodating food and beverage services. Overall, Polaris has a customer experience far below any foreign carrier. Note when carriers are ranked internationally, US airlines NEVER get into the top 5, or 10. Don't waste your money on Polaris.

@@SuperEman500 My solution is to fly another carrier. I have 3.7 million miles on United over 40 years, but I refuse to be captive (or "loyal" in airline-speak) to United's product. I've seen the other things that are out there, and I like them.

The only thing I really care about is the Polaris lie flat seating for long haul flights. I couldn't care less about the fancy lounges and food options. Except the ice cream. I do like the ice cream. If United had a class that offered Polaris style lie flat seats minus every other amenity, I'd very much prefer that.
