Polaris Opposites - Introduction

Introduction  |  Next >

Last year, I learned that United was considering severely cutting back its Polaris First (i.e., three-cabin international first) product.

United retired the 747-400 from service in November 2017, one of the last aircraft offering international first class, leaving just some 767-300 and 777-200 with the Polaris First product.

Seven of the eight seats in First Class were occupied, so I found the attention on the return leg a bit less polished than the outbound (where only three of eight seats were taken).  But the flight was still outstanding.
