United Airlines has partnered with Chef’s Table, the brand behind the award-winning Netflix series, to introduce new in-flight dining experiences for its United Polaris international business class passengers.
Travelers flying internationally on United Polaris international business class will enjoy ten new, exclusive meal experiences curated by the successful global chefs of Chef’s Table, many of whom boast Michelin stars or James Beard Awards, starting August 1.
Each chef from Chef’s Table will offer a complete meal experience, with an appetizer, salad and entree.
"United's network spans many of the culinary capitals of the world, allowing us to authentically bring together acclaimed chefs from around the globe," said Andrew Nocella, Chief Commercial Officer, United Airlines. "Our collaboration with Chef's Table shows how we're leveraging our unique position as the world's largest airline* to deliver restaurant-quality moments in the sky. Our United Polaris international business class travelers are going to love the new dishes coming later this year."
