Creator's Key Takeaways

The Polaris Lounge in Terminal C at Newark Airport is good. Is it excellent? No. But it's good.

She delivered a world-class service and she's exactly the kind of person who makes an airline memorable for all the right reasons.

The food itself was good. It wasn't mind-blowing, but it was well prepared, nicely presented, and served smoothly.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use Global Services check-in for Polaris flights at Newark.
Request pajamas early in the flight.
Follow a sleep schedule to sync with destination time zone.

YouTube Video Description

This journey begins at Newark Liberty International Airport, where I visited the United Polaris Lounge before boarding UA79 to Tokyo. On this flight from Newark to Tokyo (UA79) I experienced something extremely rare on United Airlines… world-class inflight service. United’s Polaris Business Class on the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner is already known for its lie-flat seats and premium dining, but what made this flight memorable had nothing to do with the seat or the food. It was the crew. One exceptional chief purser completely changed the tone of the entire flight, delivering the kind of hospitality that turns a long-haul journey into something genuinely special. In this review I’ll take you through the United Polaris Lounge at Newark, the Polaris Business Class seat, the meal service, inflight entertainment, and the overall experience on UA79 from EWR to Tokyo Narita. Was this one of the best Polaris flights I’ve ever taken?
