Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm on a cruise ship. I'm on the Norwegian Spirit. Uh but I've just sailed from Tokyo, Japan to Soul, South Korea

I'm going to have a great flight today. Going to be in uh flying on United Airlines in their Polaris business class

I would say take the front row. So, 1 A, 1 D, 1G, or 1 L, or the ninth row

I encourage you to do it, especially on the long haul. But I will put a word of caution out. Once you do it, there's no going back

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Pre-select your meal on United Polaris before the flight to ensure you get your choice

✓Consider buying premium economy on United to get first access to Polaris upgrades

✓Use the Airfly dongle to connect your own headphones to the in-flight entertainment system

✓Research lounge access options at foreign airports, as US carriers may not have their own lounges

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Long travel day with multiple flights and time zone changes — Use noise-cancelling headphones, an eye mask, and a Kindle to stay comfortable and occupied

Getting a good seat on a long-haul flight — Choose a bulkhead seat in Polaris for more legroom and a larger seat well
