I'm going to be flying from LAX to Tokyo next March, for a vacation. I haven't decided between United Premium Plus, or to go all in with Polaris Business. As far as I can tell, Premium plus is better than domestic economy plus, and not as good as domestic First Class. If I decide on Polaris, besides that great seating, I'll also get the benefit on the Polaris lounge and restaurant at LAX.
I used to fly United Airlines on the 747 now i fly on Emirates for long haul unless i go to America but on domestic mostly Virgin because you are the best crew and airline
We are booked on a UA 767-300 IAH to MUC in a couple of weeks. We grabbed the front row center section in PP for only 50K miles! Looking forward to trying this product. We usually fly Polaris but everything is 295k miles and up. So, went with PP this time.
The seats you got are excellent, its great when you score the bulk head/divider row because there's no seat in front of you, and you have more legroom also get in and out with ease. I definitely think its worth it. Thanks for your review 😊
Very nice review. However, does the Premium Economy seat recline much more than the Economy seat, and if so, is there a difference in comfort? Thank you !
Assuming you fly for Quantas - did you list for standby on ID90? Did you look to see how much positive space in PE was? Last flight I bought positive space on a Star Alliance partner was Singapore, was like $450 RT for Business Class from LAX to SIN...but that was 2018
It depends what your values are! Would you prefer to have a fun premium economy experience or would you rather spend that money in Rome on your holiday? Google is saying the flight time is around 12 hours..? So personally I think it would be worth it
I’ll be flying United Premium Plus in a couple months from Chicago to Honolulu. It’s a 9 hour flight. Are the amenity kits, pillow, and blanket a part of that flight too? Or are those only given internationally?
@@BrieanaYoung so I would rely on the hands of the Gods and the Odds to lay flat ... interesting ...it is like to wait and get a last minute ticket .. which most likely would double the price ...It is a hard sale ..to put it nicely
My flight on the way back to Washington DC (my layover connecting flight) from Tokyo, Japan these premium plus seats were $299 which to me was a steal.
"Of course, there's some paper towel and piss on the floor" the way you casually throw in these one liners is priceless 😂
😂😂 bahahah pretty standard for a lav!
i guess if you have that on your daily to do list for years you really don't even pay attention to it anymore ^^
probably one of the most thorough reiviews I've read and liked, and agreed with. Thank you!
Wow, thanks!
Just upgraded to Polaris otw to Cape Town 16 hour flight. Premium plus otw back. This was helpful thank you!
Amazing!! Enjoy your flights!! ✈️
Yes those saks fifth Ave pillow and blanket is awesome. The amenity kit looked good for a Premium Economy. Nice to see your video again Brie.
They were so comfy!!!
I start ground school in just over a week in Australia, and your videos genuinely helped me so much during the application stage. thank you!!
Good luck!!
Spacious and comfort,enjoy the flight and safe travel mate!❤😂
Thanks :)

Yes, there are definitely a lot more perks with flying Polaris! just the flat bed alone is enough of an reason for me!! enjoy the your trip!

It's a 787 Dreamliner due to the 2-3-2 configuration, their 777s have 2-4-2 configurations and 767s have 2-2-2 configurations
good to know! :)

Fly and stay healthy. Thanks for sharing your flight experiences. Have an amazing day! Cheers.
Thank you too! 😁

Yesssss definitely, bulk heads are the best!
Not a bulkhead fan when Monitor is too far ahead on wall. Since hard to know, I stay away.
Very nice review. However, does the Premium Economy seat recline much more than the Economy seat, and if so, is there a difference in comfort? Thank you !
Full six inch recline.
Im excited for my upcoming flight. My dad threw me a bone and saved me from basic economy. New experience!
Yay hope you enjoy!!
@@BrieanaYoung thank you!

I got my ticket through myIDtravel, we booked for business and it had empty seats but must have gotten full last minuet and got put in premium plus!
@@BrieanaYoung If you booked and got charged for business, and you end up in Premium Economy, do you get refunded the difference in the costs?
@@flyby9741 yes
How much more do you have to pay to get business or premium on Id90? I'm flying international for the first time on benefits this summer
Thanks for sharing your experience. How long is the flight time?
It was 13-14 hours !
Hi! Question, since yall sat in the front where did you store like the bag you would usually put in the seat in front of you?
For take off we had it in the overhead lockers, and then during the flight I had a little bag at my feet :)
did it cost extra for premium plus even when on standby?
I also wondered about that 👍
Yes it cost extra :)
Flying from SFO to Rome in May 2025 economy tickets are running 1900 premium 3200. Is it still worth that much of an increase?
It depends what your values are! Would you prefer to have a fun premium economy experience or would you rather spend that money in Rome on your holiday? Google is saying the flight time is around 12 hours..? So personally I think it would be worth it
Flying Premium Plus to San Fran in six months, can't wait. Thanks for confirming my expectations, looks great. Very much over Economy class .. LOL
No worries! Enjoy your flight!!

Hmmm good questions, I’m not sure! best to ask that directly to united :)
Your videos inspired me to make my travel vlogs!
yay! can't wait to see your travel vlogs!
I will check out your channel Esther 👍
Amazing video! 😀
Thanks! 🤗
V interesting vlog - you look beautiful- I love your hair colour ❤
Thank you so much!
I am very interested in this
hope you enjoy and get some insight !! :)
how can you be in economy and lay down?
get a row free, ideally 4 seats, put up all the arm rests and use the free pillows and blankets to make shift a bed :)
@@BrieanaYoung Thanks I did not know I could purchase 4 seats for one passenger
@@MrLuis85698 You can't, but if the flight is empty you can get lucky!
@@BrieanaYoung so I would rely on the hands of the Gods and the Odds to lay flat ... interesting ...it is like to wait and get a last minute ticket .. which most likely would double the price ...It is a hard sale ..to put it nicely
pause video to make comment😂 "Of course there's paper towel and piss on the floor" bwahahaha - continue video
😂😂😂😂
I cant justify extra 2 grand for these extras
Fair enough!

Would you fly United again xx
Yes :) xx
cute mother and son
I don’t understand your comment, can you please rephrase :)
