9 Hours on United Polaris Business Class - Best US Airline??
We're flying United Polaris, from Paris to Washington DC, which is one of the only airlines in the world that offers ice cream sundae's at 30,000 feet in the air. This review will cover the lounge experience, a complete seat tour, and the food and service onboard. Have we finally answered the question of which is the best US airline?

Awesome flight review Mark, I've been wanting to try United Polaris. And YES a flight without Lord of the Rings or Star Wars is a lesser flight.

Great minds think alike, Monty 🙌🏾
Great video! Im flying in 1L later in the year from MEL to SFO and I cant wait!
This may be the best Polaris video I’ve seen! Thank you! Also, I flew 1L a few months ago, and I have 12G tomorrow, and looking fwd to ice cream + warm nuts.

Great trip report. The Lord of the Rings in Star Wars test is such a great idea. Two of my favorite movie series of all time I’d say

Sir, Could you plz help me out best option for me to book a flight from ICN to MLE round trip around august or sep? I cant really find one and not sure what im doing wrong
Nice work! I flew Polaris for the first time recently. Pleasantly surprised. Best biz class bedding I’ve had so far. Nice seats. One passive aggressive cabin crew didn’t like we changed our minds and asked for express dining; otherwise very friendly staff. On the return I did need to wipe down the surfaces with three of their complimentary wet wipes since there were quite a few stains, but after that the rest of the fight was great.

Agree with the bedding, it was super comfortable. I can see cabin crew differing flight to flight especially since this is a US airline
Thanks for the breakdown. My highest priority is ability to sleep. How well did you sleep? How were your back, ne k and legs?

Polaris bedding was very comfortable imo. No issues at all with space!

hi, just checked seats aero... does transferring UR to Virgin Atlantic enables me to book via Virgin Australia? I see lots of availability either Aeroplan, Alaska, AA, Qantas & Virgin Australia, thanks

I believe you can transfer UR to Virgin Atlantic then you need to call Virgin Atlantic to book via Virgin Australia. Best advice is to call Virgin Atlantic to confirm the process before transferring any points over
hi Mark, did some additional research and unfortunately, Virgin Atlantic doesn't transfer to Virgin Australia Velocity... only Marriott transfers but 3:1... other YTs also confirmed this... also aside from Aeroplan, Velocity has the 2nd best availability on business class awards... maybe thats why... only Australians can access

Some observations. Remote boarding on a long haul flight is not good. United's Polaris class seats are very nice, but I find Uniteds catering and service inconsistent.

To each their own when it comes to remote boarding. If its during the day, I'm personally a fan. Agreed that the Polaris seat was VERY comfortable. The lunch service was solid with the prawn dishes, but the pre-arrival meal left much to be desired.
Nice. And you have enough room to recline? I could t tell.
@__withMark

Yep, plenty of room for both lie flat and reclining!
I like simply beautiful cabin like this ! I don’t like airlines when put colors on like Emirates, they push too much fancying looks odd
To be closer to my husband would it be better to choose middle seats?
@__withMark

Yes choose the middle seats if your priority is to be close enough to chat with your husband! If you're in the front cabin, choose an odd numbered row. If you're in the rear business cabin, take rows either 10 or 12.
bro whats your job to afford this?
Why the hell didn't you record the arrival meal?? I feel robbed. :-(

Now this is a good suggestion 🙌🏾
For spending thousands of dollars in the sky? The food was not up to par with elegance and prestigious compared to other airlines. Or Maybe, it's just US airlines lol 😂
Flight was delayed a whole day and the polaris business class...SUCKED!!! Bad from A to Z..will never fly United again.
One of my least favorite airlines.

What is your preferred airline for international European travel?
Is there such a thing as a ‘good’ US airline? I think not, they are all terrible, period.
