Finally! It took a while, but United 787-8 business class is something worth trying. United has slowly been upgrading their 787-8s with the Polaris business class cabin over the past year or so, and I’m happy to report that it’s nothing short of fantastic.
Sure, there are some things that aren’t perfect about it (as you’ll see in this video), but all in all it’s a very competitive business class seat.
This is footage from UA424, nonstop service from Washington DC (IAD) to San Francisco (SFO) in October 2021. I was seated in 6L for this 5 and a half hour flight, and the aircraft registration was N26910.

That’s one heck of a first business class experience. 😂 Glad you enjoyed it!

I’m flying business/first for the first time in about 30 years next month. My last first class experience was back in the 90s when Delta operated real international first class - lobster, caviar, the whole nine yards. As a 14yo American I wasn’t impressed with the food 🙄. But I still remember how lavish the whole experience was. I guess I shouldn’t expect caviar and a rose bud in a vase 😂

Can I say you’re one of the few trip reporters out there I enjoy? Far too many put waaaay too much focus on the plane ride itself, only filming the outside views (half blocked by the engine), and the super long taxi out and in. You put emphasis on the journey itself which includes the airports and people watching (which I love to do as a flight attendant while sitting at the airport). Love your videos and insight and dry humor.

[@jahbern]

San Francisco is a rare airport that allows simultaneous close-spaced parallel runway approaches. Pretty cool! And it requires a skilled pilot trained in the approach, which means you have a pretty awesome flight crew taking care of you in the cockpit. They have a dedicated radio frequency and system watching them to make sure they stay on course - a deviation means they have to do a go-around, so it’s pretty serious stuff. Just a little trivia for budding aviation geeks.

I have experienced 19L/19R approach in SFO a couple times a year. I noticed the SFO folks use the 19 runways to do the landings and the 10 runways for takeoffs during the rainy weathers. But it really depends on the wind direction also. I've had cases where my flights still took off from 28 runways during huge rains because the wind was blowing from the west.

Actually, Dulles C+D concourses were planned to be demolished pre-9/11, but never were. That’s why you have to walk from the train….the train stop is where the new concourse will eventually be built, to the south of the present C+D. You have to walk a little way back to the north for now.

[@aidanhawes2588]

For school or doctors I’d be there 5 minutes before it starts but when it comes to flying, I would get to the airport 2-3 hours early to walk around the whole airport. I’d sleep when I am done visiting every corner of the airport and stay up the majority of the flight watching the terrain go by but if your over the ocean for hours then you’d should just sleep. For me, I barely fly and I want to make the most of these experiences cause I love to do it.

[@Bobrogers99]

I realize that US airlines don't pull out all the stops for their premium passengers on domestic flights, though you did have a roomy, comfy seat. Those waffles looked gross, and you said that the noise-cancelling headphones were not good. Certainly better than flying Economy, but other than the seating it didn't seem impressive.

[@jahbern]

A lot of people I know consider the lie-flat seats to be a huge part of the appeal of business class these days. I think a lot of us have come to accept that service and amenities will be reduced. Especially at the prices I’m seeing ($3,000 round trip for Europe in the summer? Who cares if the waffles are gross????). That said, I can see how people who have been traveling business/first for a while would find the new standards disappointing. The price isn’t $7,000 anymore, sure, but you’re also not getting the same product. I flew first class on Delta from JFK to CDG as a teen and I STILL remember details of that flight. We were served a multiple-course meal complete with champagne in flutes. Artichokes, lobster, caviar - you know, all the stuff American teens look for in an airplane meal 😂 But then again, smoking was still allowed back then, so on balance I’ll take Polaris over lobster in a smoke-filled cabin any day.

[@Undecided0]

I once got to EWR 2 hours early & still ended up missing my flight, because the TSA decided they only needed to open one screening area.

[@paulronukaitus3919]

I think what you really need to realize is that the Terminal C-D you were flying out of was the original midfield concourse. There were plans to build a new midfield terminal beyond the current C. Just like the new A-B terminal already constructed. That is why the subway ride was a bit of a walk back to C-D. The new C-D station was built under the proposed new C-D which is beyond the current C-D.

[@maxleitschuh7076]

The long walk after the train at Dulles is because they built the new C/D Concourse stop where the new C/D concourse is supposed to go - but then they never built the concourse. So you have to take the train to where the new concourse would have gone, then walk back to where the existing concourse is. I wouldn't put much hope in an improvement anytime soon. C/D was supposed to be temporary stop-gap when they built it, but that was 40 years ago....

Fingers crossed I get to Germany when I am supposed to.

[@markamber1480]

6A and 6L are the BEST seats. The reason you don’t have blankets and pillows is that United classifies IAD-SFO as a “normal” route. And you just get the drafty shitty blue blanket at best. Real Polaris is different. But I would say that the food for non-premium “domestic” service is better. In economy United is offering as many as 10 choices for food for purchase on longer routes, and it’s free for United elite status. In first it’s better than the Polaris food I think… somehow. To get the Polaris blankets you need to be booked in Polaris. Not first. Same plane. Same cabin. Different service. Also fun: the premium economy seats will be sold as normal economy when United uses its heavy metal for non-premium domestic routes. When you see 2-3-2 in economy BUY THAT TICKET!!!

[@th3thrilld3m0n]

With all that extra time you totally should have taken a detour for a mobile lounge. I sincerely hope they finally build the permanent satellite concourse for Dulles instead of continuing to use the crappy temporary one. The AB concourse vs. CD concourse is a night and day difference, but still no moving walkways anywhere to be found. The reason the C station for the train is so far from the gates is because it is built under the site for the future satellite concourse, so you have to backtrack a little to get to the current temporary concourse.

Fun fact: I HAVE had a colonoscopy scheduled for the day after my birthday! Wasn’t fun. Didn’t get to enjoy my birthday cake until after the procedure😂

[@sanspotter]

Haha, but I’ll bet that cake tasted better knowing that the procedure was behind you (no pun intended 🤦🏼‍♂️😄).

Wow, that gate area looked about as bad as the oldest parts of Terminal 2 at Lindbergh!

[@sanspotter]

It’s amazing how different the main terminal is at IAD compared to the United terminal. Like two completely different airports!

Blankets, pillows, slippers, and sometimes mattress toppers are all on request

Can’t believe they don’t provide bedding for a business class flight. The food looked pretty budget too.

Usually international flights

I haven't seen Growing Pains in 2 weeks! It was the one where Boner disclosed that his Dad's name was Sylvester Stabone. Show would probably be banned today.

I’m not sure why Polaris gets such high ratings. If you sit in the seats that are near the windows there is a more private feel but the foot well is just horrible. The seat cushion that extends is not straight it’s curved and doesn’t support your legs completely unless you sit very straight. Foot well is really small and I find that not both legs fit comfortably because one has to always bend to fit. The other seats that have aisle access have better room. I would go for the aisle seats just to get a more roomier foot well. Don’t recommend the waffles!
