Trip Report: Polaris Business Class! | United 767-300ER | Zürich - Chicago | ZRH - ORD

Hello and welcome back to another Trip Report! Today I'm bringing you quite possibly my best flight experience to date, a ten-hour journey in United's Polaris Business Class! I copped this upgrade for an extra $500 and 20K miles two weeks before the trip as PZ-fare space opened up. I'd been looking forward to trying to upgrade if it was possible, and I'm glad I did! The onboard experience was wonderful except for some cold fries in the second meal service. With a 7-hour layover in Chicago, the Polaris Lounge also came in clutch, which I sadly didn't get to capture as well as I would've liked. If given another opportunity, I hope to return to this product in the future. Stay tuned for my last couple of videos from this trip in the coming weeks. Until then, thank you for watching and have a great day!

Well, a long time ago, about 20 years, I flew very regularly with the Dutch Martinair in the 'star class' Ams-Hav-Ams, the then business class with 18-24 seats, before KLM/AF liquidated this company through a takeover. . Always very pleasant memories of those pleasant flights that lasted about 10 hours or more. The 767 e.r. It was a bit noisy, I remember!

It's definitely louder than the more modern 787, but still fun to fly. It'll be a sad day when they're gone. Thanks for watching!

My family and I fly 13:33 on Polaris about 6 times a year. The fries never tasted good. The burger is usually decent. I would advise people to eat in the Polaris lounge. The restaurant in the Polaris lounge is really good.

I agree, the Dining Room in the lounge is some of the best airport food I've ever had! Thanks for watching!
