What To Expect in Polaris Business Class

Polaris is United’s international business class product, and it is very solid — especially if you can enjoy some time in the United Polaris lounge before your flight. Unfortunately, that isn’t an option with this sale as there is no United Polaris Lounge at Boston Logan Airport.

However, the inflight experience is still quite good and you can expect:

Lie-flat seats in your suite with custom luxury bedding by Saks Fifth Avenue
Complimentary Away amenity kit featuring travel essentials including premium skincare items from Sunday Riley
Elevated inflight dining service, plus complimentary drinks and snacks
Complimentary checked baggage and Premier Access benefits
