United Polaris is United Airlines’ international business class experience, defined by custom-designed staggered lie-flat seats, Saks Fifth Avenue bedding, and exclusive airport lounges.
United Polaris was a massive leap forward for the airline. The seat itself is a highly customized staggered design where every passenger enjoys direct aisle access. True window seats offer fantastic privacy, while the odd-numbered center seats are great for couples. What truly sets Polaris apart is the soft product: the Saks Fifth Avenue bedding is arguably the best in the sky, featuring gel pillows, mattress pads, and plush duvets. On the ground, the dedicated Polaris Lounges offer a la carte dining and quiet rest areas, strictly reserved for long-haul business class passengers.
No, access is strictly limited to passengers flying long-haul international business or first class on United or a Star Alliance partner. Standard club memberships do not grant entry.
No, the United Polaris seats do not have sliding doors, but the true window seats still offer excellent privacy due to the staggered design.
A staggered configuration is a cabin layout where seats are offset from the row in front of them, allowing the footwell of one seat to tuck under the console of the seat ahead.
Direct aisle access means a passenger can leave their seat and walk into the aisle without having to step over another passenger.
