United Airlines has unveiled the United Elevated interior for new Boeing 787-9 aircraft with two new Business Class suites.
Eight new United Polaris Studio suites are positioned in the first row of each Business Class section and feature lie-flat, all-aisle-access seats that are 25% larger than standard United Polaris, with privacy doors and an extra ottoman seat for companions.
Business Class passengers will also benefit from onboard service enhancements, including a Ossetra caviar amuse-bouche service, Starlink connectivity, new amenity kits with luxury skincare items, wireless charging and 27-inch, 4K OLED seatback screens, the largest among US carriers.
Standard United Polaris seats are also being upgraded to suites with the addition of sliding doors and larger, 19-inch 4K OLED screens.
“These new innovations provide a more premium experience overall, give customers even more reasons to choose United, and set our airline up to grow into the next decade and beyond,” said Andrew Nocella, EVP and Chief Commercial Officer at United.
“We never stand still and are always looking for more ways to set ourselves apart from other carriers. And we’re confident this elevated experience will take international flying to new heights.”
The Boeing 787-9 aircraft will have 99 total premium seats – the highest percentage among US carriers, with privacy dividers and wireless charging.
United expects to take delivery of the first United 787-9 with the Elevated interior before the end of 2025 with the first international passenger flights planned for San Francisco to Singapore and San Francisco to London.
