I recently traveled from San Francisco to Paris on United polaris class. The Polaris Lounge at the San Francisco Airport is excellent, way beyond my high expectations. On my way back from Paris, the senior cabin crew came to our seats to thank us individually for flying United. I definitely will fly United Business again.

It’s reassuring to see that the usual gaggle of United haters is alive and well. My last few flights in Polaris on the airline have been a pleasure. Enthusiastic crews and a decent hard product.

Treat the flight crew with respect and you’re nice to them, they’ll treat with respect and you might get upgraded on the plane. It happened to me, because I was wearing smart casual clothes and shoes. I was very happy. Lol

Man, with subs your reviews took a hint of originality. It was nice touch to read all theses descriptions with a pinch of opinion.

I flew United Polaris on 777-300er, first time ever. From Newark to Rome. It was a blast. Food service Polaris Lounge in Newark all fabulous. I'll be flying Polaris again April of 2025 to Sydney. I can't wait!

Another great example on how to make a great flight experience video. Thanks 🙏

Allways a perfect Video, thank you very much.

been subscribed to this man for over 2 years and have never been dissapointed keep it up man!

I am so like the background music in your video! So calm & so comfortable! It's the most important reason I keep watch every update videos

Just took my first Business class flight at the end of 2023 and it was this exact cabin! It was so comfy (though getting in and out was a bit tight in the odd rows). The food was much better than expected (short rib) and being able to sleep lying flat was AMAZING! Thank you for inspiring me to take a chance and do it!

Seat 1-A. Nice!!! 👍

Nice classic business class Boeing Airlines neet runways

I live about 20 minutes from EWR, so I fly United all the time, domestically and internationally. No airline is perfect, but on the whole, I like United very much. My longest voyage was a trip to Singapore. I cannot afford Polaris (I tend to save up and spend on experiences at my destination), so I speak from an Economy Class POV.

If only regular folks like me could fly in style too, one day hopefully.

Over 47 years, I have flown often with United. In the past two decades, the frequency has decreased significantly. In my view, from 1990-2015 or so, the quality of service, the cleanliness and experience of the aircraft, and schedule reliability were well below average. In recent years, I have flown with United (initially because other flights were not available) and have found the airline to have vastly improved in each of those areas. Depending on cost and schedule, I would definitely consider flying with them again.

I’ve enjoyed my United flights. It is worth the extra money to travel in business class for long flights and at least extra legroom in economy on shorter flights, especially if you’re tall.

I'm delighted to see Dulles Airport (IAD) briefly introduced on the channel I always enjoy watching. Welcome with open arms to my hometown where I live! I hope you had a wonderful time at the capitol of the United States and NYC as well.

I fly regularly to Europe on business on United and always look for a polaris long haul flight on a 777 or 767 as the accommodations are far better compared to Lufthansa A330 A320 business class. Pro tip for Polaris = always pre-order your entrees online as the good stuff (beef and halibut) tends to sell out quickly.

Super 👌

Lovely video. My favourite part was the take off into the puffy clouds. Exceptional.

I second that - mighty travels premium is great for trip planning. !

Nice video, the presentation of the food was pretty good.

No left hand thumb-ring! I think you both are absolutely fantastic.

Man I wish I had United miles, looks so luxurious. Maybe one day!

so excited for all the upcoming us videos

It is a pleasure to spend the last morning of the week viewing an LTE video. This is a calming way for us to dream and plan for our next get away! 💚

Great, i love your Video´s so much.

Great flight

Thank you for sharing 👍👍

Lovely flight❤

Thank you for sharing🙋🏻🙋🏻✌✌

Great An Video this Beautifull

Polaris Business Class showed a decent safety video, another expert filmed the whole video :) I like the lounge, especially a plane can chill and see planes... Cannot wait for next week, the hotel looks gorgeous, cannot wait for next week, AMAN.

Great report. I have to try one day.

Always nice to see you on my side of the pond, Doc. ;) As an aviation geek, by far the best part of any flight for me is just looking out the window. So, in general, I'm not a fan of business class seats, since they tend to be too far from the window and/or angled away from the window. However, the seat that you had was actually one that I wouldn't mind. Not angled and right beside the window. I still would rather save a lot of money and just get a window seat in economy. But, as always...to each their own. :)

The best way to spend hours on end up in the air. Great video.

ive flown United domestically before, it was good. I was in economy seat and the cabin crew are nice. I was going to Florida btw, and it was on a B737. Also, i live 25-30mins away from Washington Dulles airport, ha how lucky am I?

United's profit for 2023 is pre-tax income of $1.5 billion. But they only offer PJs in Polaris Class on flights over 14 hours? Words escape me. The food was beyond revolting. Served all on one tray. And United wants Polaris to shine? Try polishing it a little bit more, kids. Excellent travel report, as usual!

Nice video 💕

Polaris lounge looks modern and clean with good selection of food. My abiding memory of Dulles Airport was an intended flight from Washington to London in 2002. On engine start-up, huge plumes of smoke started to come from the port engine and we were forced to return to the stand. All the passengers were bussed to a Holiday Inn for an overnight stay, and I can recall eating slightly warm pizza at midnight. Happy days! 😎

🤩Feliz ano novo a todos🤩

After 2000 flights on 65 airlines, I suggest not to worry about cabin crew as in a dire situation they will help you for sure and some crews great and some the opposite and just let them do their job. Too many influencers want to chit chat and then state they were dutiful but not friendly. Many people travelling want peace too, a decent meal and sleep. Most airlines similar premium so depends on where you want to go and what choice. I flew many premium Chinese Airlines because of my work location but then due to understanding of Chinese airspace delays went back to NH and KE and nothing to do with how nice the crews were. We are fortunate now we can fly around the world safely with generally good service and lounges but sometimes you maybe unlucky and find many frustrations but most people do their best I never pressure. I find staff upgr 0:11 added the most annoying with demands but Sam Chui is the worst behaved passenger of them all.

Very beautiful ☺👍

We flew on this model plane just yesterday, Emirates. Their business seats, though comfy-looking, were not as nice & private as what I see on this United version. Surprising.

Thank you for sharing 🧘🏽‍♀️👍🏽🥳🤸🏽‍♀️🎉🥰🛫

Thanks for Watching To saya Ingin Plane Atau Cabin this So. good Amazing😊😊😊

Very Beautifull❤❤

United needs to return to serving meals as courses in business class. I get that airlines stopped this during the pandemic, but they seem to be hanging on to it and it makes the FA’s seem lazy for a stupid corporate decision.

beautiful footage of takeoff! I took this exact route in business 4 years ago. never again! the most claustrophobic business experience of my lifetime.

My wife and I are flying United Polaris from San Francisco to Sydney Australia in March. Any tips you can give us would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Doc - I recall in previous videos you mentioned that you're a nervous flyer. How did you get over your fear?

Grat video, everything looked very nice, the only thing is that the food didn't seem very appetizing.

💙

no lounge visit in Brussels this time?

Awesome job 👏. But if you want good customer service look somewhere else 😉.

Hi Doc, when do you work to earn your money for fantastic trips? Your vids are excellent anyway...

If it’s BOEING, I ain’t GOING

I’ve never had a good flight on United but yours looked pretty good 😊

guys i have a question, how do these type of travel vloggers get the budgets and all ? like initially, now they r established in yt channel but how did they get when they start?

When I was a kid, my parents attempted to fly with United. They bumped them off the flight even though they paid full price, and they vowed never to fly with them again after that experience.

This is A First Class

It's EMPTY ??

Obviously you have flown business class with many other airlines, how would you rate United against these airlines?

Not sure you agree but the North American carriers offer a lesser product for the price compared to European/Asian carriers

Polaris Business Class outboard seats in the odd numbered rows are the way to go. Don't ever fly business on a UA 777-200 with the rear facing seats. Horrible.

Cabin is fine, but it’s the United flight attendants which ruin the flight. Customer service at United is horrendous.

Given how few pax were in the two business class sections, UA probably lost $$ on this flight!

I me

The cheese selection on the airline was pretty uninspiring, three lumps of plastic cheese.🤑

I'm looking at the safety video thinking how unnecessary the theatrics are in light of the JAL collision this week. Safety videos shouldn't be set in any other environment other than the type being flown on with no comedic and humorous words. Yes, it sounds boring but theres absolutely nothing funny about an evacuation. Should actually be written into operating laws as a matter of urgency.😑

What happened, I miss the written caption and bits of aviation infos???

What a lovely video. Again, smooth, visuals, nice audio and informative sub titles. The UNITED AIRLINES needs to get their act together. On one of their screen displays, they showed air speed in miles per hour (mph) but they failed when they showed KPH. This failed attempt at conversion from Imperial measurement to Metric measurement, means NOTHING AT ALL. In the metric system, the symbol used to represent kilometer(s) is lower case "km". Metric notation does not take any plural forms. This is stipulated in the statutary design of the Systeme Internationale. The SI Units for speed are therefore "km/h". So, any representation of air speed would be "xxx km/h". There is no other alternative. There are no house styles. This is the legislated symbol. I'm not surprised, as the USA could never get its mind together when it comes to the Metric System.. SPEAK to them. Damn their isolation.

Your comments get in the way of the video unfortunately

United would actually be good if they fired their staff that’s terrible and as disgusting as their food

Im sure he will email me again because I called him out as have seen him on flights and airporys many times.

Why you blue the crew faces.... It has no sense..... Buuuuuu to that

As an American I am embarrassed to say it but USA airlines are a complete joke. Delta is pretty much your only option these days.
