United Airlines’ Polaris international business class is getting its largest amenity upgrade yet, with new in-airport and onboard amenities.
The airline has upgraded its onboard amenity kit with Therabody eye serum, face spray, hand cream and cleansing towelette. Other amenities included in the kit are a bamboo toothbrush, toothpaste, eye mask, ear plugs, socks and a pen. Therabody devices like the Lounger, Theragun and RecoveryAir JetBoots will be offered in select United Polaris lounges.
Additionally, business class travelers can sleep through their long flight with Saks Fifth Avenue bedding items, some of which are made from recycled plastics, along with a limited-edition day blanket from fashion designer Claude Kameni. United Polaris is the only U.S. business class cabin that offers two pillows per person, and one is a cool gel pillow.
Polaris-class travelers can enjoy over twenty new wine, beer and liquor brands, with more on the way. Over 100 new menu items were also added across all cabins and routes this year, with more on the way. Travelers can pre-order the meal of their choice through the United app or website.
"International travel is booming and our customers have direct access to more places around the globe than any other airline – with these new amenities, now they'll also have the best experience flying there," said Andrew Nocella, United Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer. "We know amenities can really elevate the overall flying experience and are confident United Polaris flyers will love the new wellness-focused offerings created with our best-in-class partners Therabody and Saks Fifth Avenue and increased focus on sourcing recycled materials."
