United Airlines IE: Introducing new base option for United Polaris℠ and United Premium Plus℠

Giving customers more options across every type of ticket.

We are launching a new base option for premium cabins for long-haul international, transcontinental U.S. and select Hawaii flights that will make it easier for customers to find the flight experience that best matches their preferences. You will see the new options in select markets this month in both United and travel agency channels, and we will expand to additional long-haul international, transcontinental U.S. and longer Hawaii flights later this year.

The front cabin on select transcontinental U.S. and select longer Hawaii flights will also be branded United Polaris℠ and customers who buy the standard or flexible fares in United Polaris on these flights will have access to the United Polaris lounge. Customers who purchase the base option for United Polaris will still have access to the United Club.

The charts below outline what’s included with the two new options:
