BEN SAYS: Easily the snazziest Boeing 767 business class product in the world, though the soft product isn't quite as impressive

I spent the night at the Marriott Newark Airport (which I’ve reviewed before, so I won’t be reviewing it this time around), and early the next morning I headed to Newark Airport bright-eyed and bushy-tailed (or something like that) for my daytime United Polaris flight to London Heathrow, on their very intriguing low density 767-300.

How I Booked My United Polaris Ticket

I only booked this trip a bit over a week before departure, and was happy to find that United had some saver award seats on their daytime flight from Newark to London Heathrow. I was excited about this for two reasons:

  • It would be my first-ever time on a daytime eastbound transatlantic flight (I’ll share my overall thought on these kinds of flights in a separate post)
  • This flight was operated by United’s 767-300 with an astounding 46 business class seats; this is a plane unlike anything else offered by a US airline

Anyway, I booked the one-way ticket using Air Canada Aeroplan miles, which I had transferred over from Amex Membership Rewards (see here for the best credit cards for earning Amex points). The ticket cost just 55,000 miles plus $5.60 in taxes and fees. That’s quite a deal, if you ask me!

I booked through Aeroplan because they had a combination of the lowest redemption rates and the easiest booking process.

Full Disclosure…

I pride myself in the independence of my reviews, and that includes doing everything in my power to “fly under the radar.” However, in this case I had contacted United in advance to ask if I could board early.

Usually I’m just really good at being “gate lice” and getting on the plane first, but at United both Global Services and 1K members can board before business class, so it’s really hard to get good cabin pictures.

I needed some more shots of United cabins for the blog, I wanted to photograph this unique Polaris cabin as “cleanly” as possible, and I also wanted to take a look at United’s premium economy seats.

So this is just a heads up of that, and also that the crew seemed to know that I’m a blogger. Everything else about the experience was the same (the food, the seat, etc.), but I won’t be talking much about the service, since they knew what I was doing.

Fortunately I’ve reviewed United plenty in the past, and I find service is consistently inconsistent.

United Polaris Lounge Newark

I woke up at around 4AM so I’d have some time to work before the flight, and I ended up getting to Newark at around 5AM. I’ve reviewed the Polaris Lounge Newark before, so won’t be doing so again.

I absolutely love this lounge, though, and would note that it’s especially calm in the morning, as there’s virtually no one there.

I had an early breakfast in the lounge, and the menu for that read as follows:

I had a pomegranate parfait, a veggie omelet, and a cappuccino, which was excellent. I still can’t fully believe that this is a US airline lounge.

What made this extra special was that the lady working In the restaurant was Sonya (I’m not sure how exactly her name is spelled), and she was just the loveliest person imaginable.

Some people are just genuinely happy and can’t help but put a smile on everyone’s face, and she was one of those people. I don’t think there was a single person in the restaurant area who wasn’t delighted and inspired by her positive attitude. Heck, I heard two other people mention to her how friendly she is.

Anyway, boarding for my flight was scheduled to start at 7:40AM, so at around 7:20AM I headed over to gate C90, which was about a 10 minute walk away.


United 767-300 Newark Airport

I was let on the plane just a few minutes early so I could grab some pictures, but boarding started right on time.

United 934
Newark (EWR) – London (LHR)
Thursday, November 14
Depart: 8:30AM
Arrive: 8:35PM
Duration: 7hr5min
Aircraft: Boeing 767-300
Seat: 11A (Polaris Business Class)

While I’ve reviewed United’s new Polaris seats on their 777-300ERs and 787-10s, I was probably most excited to check out the business class seats on this ~17 year old 767-300 (I was flying N686UA).

What Makes these 767s so special?

  • Most airlines have outdated cabins on their 767s, while United is installing their newest and best business class seats on them
  • United has done something unique with their 767s, by putting a subset of them in a really premium configuration, with just 167 seats — this includes 46 business class seats, 22 premium economy seats, and then 99 economy seats (as a point of comparison, their other version of the plane has 214 seats)

I boarded through the forward door (as does everyone on the 767-300, given the lack of a mid-cabin door), and was immediately blown away by the the sheer size of the Polaris cabin.

There are 16 rows of seats, in a 1-1-1 configuration. Arguably this might just be United’s most comfortable Polaris cabin if traveling alone, given the 1-1-1 layout rather than the 1-2-1 layout on the 777 and 787.

This is without a doubt the sleekest commercial 767 in the sky, and I can’t think of another airline with business class seats this good on the 767.

I also quickly popped my head into the 22 seat Premium Plus section (the name of United’s premium economy cabin). The seats looked reasonably comfortable, and the narrow fuselage means that there are no middle seats in premium economy, as the configuration is 2-2-2. Very nice.

Even the 99 seat economy cabin felt quite intimate. It’s interesting to note that Economy Plus (extra legroom economy) includes all the seats along the windows, with the exception of the last three rows. The seats with the darker headrests are Economy Plus, while the seats with the lighter blue headrests are regular economy.

Anyway, back in Polaris I found the same configuration I was used to from the 777 and 787 — it seems like no compromises were made on the seats. In each row the configuration alternated.


United Polaris business class seats 767-300

In the center section and along the left aisle (the “D” seats), all the seats faced towards the aisle, so they felt a bit exposed.

Meanwhile in the center section and along the right aisle (the “F” seats), all the seats faced directly forward. I wouldn’t choose to sit in one of the center seats if window seats were available, though in general center seats don’t get better than this.


United Polaris business class seats

Along the windows, seats alternated as well. In even numbered rows, seats were further from the windows and closer to the aisle, which means you feel a bit exposed and also can’t necessarily easily look out the window. I prefer to be further from the aisle, so these wouldn’t be my first picks either.

Instead the absolute best seats here are the “true” window seats, which are in odd numbered rows. These seats have the most privacy and also the best window views.

I had assigned myself seat 11A, located about two thirds of the way back in the cabin (this was a great choice in terms of having a nice view of the wing & engine).

To the side of the seat was an enclosed storage console as well as a mirror, where the headphones and water bottle were located.

When closed, this could also act as a counter where you could place a laptop or book. This area also has a lamp at the far corner of the seat, and a reading light immediately next to where you sit.

Underneath the storage compartment were outlets (110v and USB), an entertainment controller, and the headphone jack.


United Polaris entertainment controls & outlets

To the left of the seat were all of the seat controls, including a knob you could push to transition the seat from the upright position to the fully reclined position.

The tray table folded out from the seat in front, from right underneath the television. You could fold this over in half.

While a footwell is generally a concern in this configuration in terms of getting comfortable, this one was plenty big.

My one disappointment with the seat was that there were no individual air nozzles on the 767-300.

Waiting at my seat was United’s bedding, which is without a doubt the best business class bedding in the world. This included a plush pillow, a gel pillow, a duvet, and a day blanket.


United Polaris bedding

United Airlines has a partnership with Star Wars, so there was a Star Wars themed amenity kit. The kit was well stocked, with socks, eyeshades, earplugs, a pen, tissues, a dental kit, and some products from Sunday Riley.

A few minutes after settling in the crew offered me some slippers, which were nice and thick/comfortable.

I was then also presented with the menu, as well as a fast track card.

About 10 minutes after boarding started pre-departure drinks were offered, with the choice of sparkling wine, orange juice, and water — now that’s a pour!

At around 8:10AM the crew came around to take meal orders, and then about five minutes after that the main cabin door closed.

I was surprised by how empty the cabin was — prior to boarding over 20 of the business class seats were unoccupied with no one on the upgrade list. The plane ended up going out with around 10 empty seats, as there were about 10 non-revs.

At 8:20AM the captain made a welcome aboard announcement on behalf of himself and the two first officers, informing us of our flight time of 6hr20min (this must be a pretty cushy trip for the pilots, since it’s a short daytime flight and they even have a relief pilot, so they get some rest).

At 8:25AM we began our taxi, and at the same time the Star Wars safety video was screened. As mentioned above, row 11 was great for the wing & engine views.

Pushing back Newark Airport

We had a short taxi, and by 8:45AM we were cleared for takeoff on runway 22R.

As we climbed out I browsed the entertainment selection — United has a good selection, even on these older planes.

I also like how they have a page that shows the service flow for the flight.

I just spent most of the flight with the monitor just showing the map.

Map for flight to London

Since this was a daytime weekday flight, I connected to the Wi-Fi right away and worked for virtually all of the flight.

United Airlines Wi-Fi 767

United has three Wi-Fi pricing options:

  • Wifi for one hour costs $12.99
  • Wifi for two hours costs $16.99
  • Wifi for the full flight costs $27.99


United Airlines Wi-Fi pricing

The Wi-Fi speeds were quite good, much better than I was expecting, since I assumed many people would be connecting on a daytime flight, thereby slowing down speeds. I had no problems being productive.

After takeoff I also checked out the lavatories. There’s a big lavatory behind business class, and then two at the front of the cabin. I’m impressed that United refreshed these lavatories, because I know many other airlines that installed new seats on 767s, but maintained the outdated lavatories.

Soon after takeoff the (very odd) meal service began. Let me start by sharing my expectations:

  • I assumed that on eastbound daytime transatlantic flights that there was a light breakfast after takeoff, and then the main meal is served before landing
  • Alternatively, I assumed there was a “proper” breakfast after takeoff, and then a lunch or dinner type snack before landing

What was it actually like? Well, here’s the menu:

The drink list read as follows:

About 20 minutes after takeoff warm towels were distributed.

Around 15 minutes later drinks were served. I wanted a cup of coffee since it was morning, but was surprised that I was offered warm nuts to go along with it. Warm nuts before breakfast, really?


United Polaris meal — coffee & mixed nuts

About 50 minutes after takeoff the (filling) first course was served. This included a generous fruit plate, a delicious chilled oatmeal with coconut, chia seeds, and mango, a yogurt, and a selection from the breadbasket.


United Polaris meal — breakfast

I decided to take the cinnamon roll from the snack basket, not because I was going to eat it, but because it might just be the tastiest thing you’ll find in any airline breadbasket, so it needed to be in that picture. 😉

For the main course I decided to order the steak and eggs, which consisted of grilled beef tenderloin with scrambled eggs, asparagus, and portobello mushrooms. The scrambled eggs were pretty good, while the steak was really tough, which I guess shouldn’t come as much of a surprise.


United Polaris meal — breakfast

After that the typical dessert trolley was rolled down the aisle with ice cream sundaes, other sweet treats, and cheese plates.


United Polaris meal — breakfast

The meal was served at a good pace, and was done about 90 minutes after takeoff. Overall the food was pretty good — especially the chilled oatmeal — though I found the meal design to be bizarre.

The first meal is a full-on breakfast, but then they start it with hot nuts, and finish it with an ice cream sundae cart? Am I the only one who finds that to be strange?

Not surprisingly, everyone on this flight seemed to be on a completely different schedule. You had some people working on their laptops the whole flight, you had some people watching movies, and you had others sleeping almost the entire flight.

By the time the meal was done we were just over Newfoundland, about to start our Atlantic crossing.

I spent almost the entire flight working, and also occasionally taking a look outside the window.

View enroute to London

This was a very short day for me, as about two hours before landing the sun already set. It was also a quick sunset, given that we were flying east — it was completely bright outside, and then 30 minutes later was pitch dark.

While I didn’t sleep on this flight, I did briefly test out the bed, which was every bit as comfortable on the other planes where I’ve flown Polaris, especially with the bedding.

About 80 minutes before landing a snack was served.

Progress to London

There were three choices — four cheese ravioli, soba noodle salad with grilled shrimp, and lobster mac & cheese. I ordered the soba noodles with shrimp. The shrimp were warm and tasty, and the meal was served with fresh fruit, a selection of bread (mmmm pretzel bread), and a packaged cookie.

United Polaris snack service

At around 7:25PM London time the captain announced that we’d be landing in 30 minutes. From there we had a smooth descent, and we ended up touching down in London at around 8PM.

We had a 10 minute taxi to our arrival gate. It would usually be faster, but the captain advised that our gate was still occupied when we landed.

United Polaris 767 Bottom Line

There are some things that United does really well. This includes the new routes they’ve launched (they’re becoming such a global airline), and also the risks they’ve taken in configuring some planes in premium layouts.

United’s premium 767 is the most gorgeous 767 I’ve ever flown on, not that that’s saying a whole lot. It’s great to see an older and smaller plane like this not only get United’s new Polaris seats, but get so many of them.

United is primarily operating these planes in key business markets, including many of their flights to London, and that seems like a good strategy.

As far as the soft product goes, the Wi-Fi was good, the amenities were nice, I love Polaris bedding, and the food quality as such was above average.

That being said, I can’t wrap my head around United’s meal service on this flight — they serve breakfast after takeoff, but have warm mixed nuts and an ice cream sundae cart to go along with that?

All around this was an excellent flight, though. In a separate post I’ll share my thoughts on taking a daytime eastbound transatlantic flight, because my feelings on it surprised me.

    You're absolutely right about Sonya, she is amazing !!!

    Karen is super great too in the evenings !

  3. StevenE Member

    Im sorry to say the food looks disgusting to me, overcooked and pre -prepared at some assembly line..Sundaes nuts and coffee .....really.
    The cabins are uninspiring and cold...nothing to see here in any way ..United Non-Rev airlines will never set the business world on fire..but thanks for the review Ben.

  4. PJP Guest

    Great review of the new UA hard and soft products on the 767-300.
    The breakfast-time nuts and sundaes are a nod to people whose bodies are still on a European time zone, such as travelers from the UK who were in the U.S. for a short business trip. Reminds me of a watered-down version of the Qatar Airways and Etihad philosophy of dining whenever on whatever, since so many travelers are set to different...

Reminds me of a watered-down version of the Qatar Airways and Etihad philosophy of dining whenever on whatever, since so many travelers are set to different time zones and will be hungry for different things at different times (as you observed for yourself by the cross-section of passengers eating, watching TV, working or sleeping). United should actually offer a non-breakfast item during the first meal service on this flight as well!
    I am relatively new to this website, and am impressed by the thoroughness and objectivity of the reports.

  5. Ricport Guest

    I'll take nuts and sundaes any day over the horrid Indian food UA keeps trying to serve in domestic F. I've learned to tell the FAs I want the other option before I sit down to make sure I get it before they run out of it (which they inevitably do). I don't know what milennial/hipster dimwit in Chicago thought serving a cuisine with limited appeal was a good idea, but they should probably be hauling bags at ORD instead.

  6. William Guest

    @Karim J - I was thinking the same thing... it's like, "Make sure you visit our arrivals lounge!*" "* - Actually, don't, because you can't..." And I would think this menu is developed specifically for the daytime flight, so why have the info on there?

  7. Duck Ling Guest

    Totally get the meal options. Many people like to switch straight on to destination time when travelling. A departure at 08:30 EST is 13:30 UK time. I'd prefer a brunch option than just breakfast options.

  8. schar Guest

    @David I agree! dont understand what the huge deal is, Lucky is a little too spoiled sometimes haha. dont want it, dont eat it!

  9. schar Guest

    United is becoming the best US airline and truly a competitive global airline. I'm loving United lately, whilst avoiding AA more and more.....

  10. David Guest

    Nuts and sundaes during breakfast? As one mentioned above, it certainly could be construed as brunch, though not called it as such. But regardless—what difference does it make? Some people love snacks like warm mixed nuts, regardless the time of day. Same would go for sundaes... What I’m trying to say is after years of airlines “cheaping out” when it comes to inflight amenities, any increase in them should be applauded.

  11. Michael Williams Guest

    United has improved a lot lately. Too bad they don’t cater vegan/vegetarian meals by default (has to be specially requested beforehand ). Also it would be wonderful if they had postcards like Lufthansa and aviation page in Hemisphere Magazine.

  12. OhioExile Guest

    RE: Air Vents

    I flew a 767-300 UA LHR-EWR (Heavy J) yesterday (seat 12A) - there were definitely individual air vents (2 in fact) on the ceiling above the seats.

  13. Svon Guest

    Lucky, please do not forget to also take pictures of the "snack offering" in the galley next time, even if you're not going to take some. I guess it's helpful for your readers to cover the whole offer during the flight! Thanks! :)

  14. Marco Duprè Guest

    eggs and steak... strange combo...

  15. CF FROST Guest

    Many of these flights break the rules & save the breakfast ice cream for the dinner service. I love that. I refuse to go TATL if I can’t get a morning departure. It has saved me so much wear & tear on my body. I rarely feel jet lagged as a result.

  16. tcATL Guest

    Sonya is the sweetest! We were delayed multiple times and overnight before our flight to HKG (thanks United ) but she was the best part of the 4 different times we were in the Polaris lounge!

  17. WHS Guest

    All but three of the 767-300s in United’s fleet have individual air nozzles. This one, along with N684UA and N685UA are former Hawaiian Airlines aircraft and Hawaiian’s version did not include air nozzles. The rest have air nozzles galore (up to 3 per seat in business class).

  18. PHXFlyer Guest

    I too love the daytime eastbound TA flights. An additional benefit is that you know your hotel will be ready for you--as opposed to arriving at 0800.

  19. Paul Guest

    I enjoyed this review, and appreciate your transparency in letting us know that they knew you were a blogger. Not all bloggers would acknowledge that.

  20. Ryan R Guest

    I was on this flight in Economy last week. If, like me, you can't sleep much on planes (even in Biz), the daytime flights to Europe are the best way to beat jetlag and exhaustion. They are my new secret weapon. Just make sure to begin adjusting to the time difference before leaving by waking up a few hours early for a few days before the flight.

  21. Matthew N Guest

    Looks like a good flight with UA on the 767-300. After the 757, it's one of my favorites. I've not yet has the ability to take a day time flight, but would like too as it looks like a really cool way to cross the Atlantic, and land at bed time.

  22. John S Guest

    Bravo UA for taking an old aircraft and giving it new life! Delta, why can’t you do the same with your 767-300’s?

  23. WidgetsOfTheSkies Guest

    Looks like a nice product, especially for a 767. Good review! Eager to see what you think about daytime eastbound TATL flights.

  24. Alex Manero Guest

    Its nice and all to see them refresh old planes but getting new planes (788) would be much better with all the associated benefits.

  25. mallthus Gold

    Sonya (sp?) is the BEST. She's maybe a little bit over the top, but she's so fun that it makes the whole rest of the time in the lounge feel awesome.

  26. Karim J Guest

    Seems strange that they advertise the arrivals lounge on the menu when it will not be open on arrival

  27. John Guest

    Not sure why US airlines always have a breakfast, even in business class, that seems to have at least 4oz of sugar in it. I mean, seriously, look at this. Any non American will suffer a sugar shock over this.

  28. James K. Guest

    @Richard

    No one should be broken for two days!
    Day 1: Land, do some sort of outside activity to adjust to daylight patterns, take nap no longer than 2 hours at some point, go to bed at reasonable evening hour in new time zone
    Day 2: Mainly good to go!

  29. Richard Guest

    Daytime eastbound TATLs are the best. By loads. Even on a lie flat bed 3.5hrs of sleep on a red eye + adjusting to the time zone means you are broken for two days when you get to the UK versus landing, getting yourself to the hotel and have a proper sleep and you wake up in the morning on top form

  30. SFO Flyer Guest

    Lucky, I'm glad to see that you're finally acknowledging the improvements United is making in regards to both the hard and soft products. In previous reviews/blogs, you've continued to comment how Delta is just better, but those of us who fly United regularly know that this isn't the case.

    Not saying United is perfect, nor that they can compete with many of the overseas carriers, but the previous comments seemed to be quite dated, based...

    Not saying United is perfect, nor that they can compete with many of the overseas carriers, but the previous comments seemed to be quite dated, based upon prior bias. I get that perception is reality and United still has a lot to do to win over customers who witnessed 10+ years of poor performance. However, I'm glad to see you're finally showing a review which accurately details the United product in late 2019, as opposed to what seems to reflect the reality of 5 years ago.

  31. AT Gold

    @ Vijay

    Yes, I understand that. But using larger aircraft (also with more premium heavy configurations) would still provide the required seat capacity but without having to have so many/ so frequent flights.

  32. PsiFighter37 Guest

    Your 767-300 did not have air nozzles because it is one of the 3 763s acquired from HA, which did not have air nozzles installed. The ones UA has always owned do have air nozzles at the seat.

  33. Mike Diamond

    The whole flight looks wonderful. I wish Delta would do something similar with their 767s. Those planes are simply awful.

  34. neil Diamond

    The economy cabin is set up with economy plus seats on the window side and regular economy in the center. Since the tow sets of seats have different pitches, I'm curious about the row numbering in the economy cabin works as you head to the rear of the plane.

  35. Bob Guest

    Daytime eastbound TATLs are the best flights. Be productive the whole flight. Land, go to sleep, and be immediately on a regular European time schedule.

    I will go out of my way to take them. AA90 (ORD-LHR, daytime) is my favorite flight.

  36. Aaron Diamond

    Also:

    "and lobster mac & cheese (the last one wasn’t listed on the menu)"

    It is, but it's listed in the Anytime A La Carte section section. I guess not many people ordered it in-between meals...

    @Stuart

    Maybe they could try serving the sundaes and other dessert with the arrival meals? If they can keep it frozen that long...

  37. Dwondermeant Guest

    The food Was looking good until I saw that mini disintegrated
    dry rubber tire they call steak
    I suppose the upside is if United has a blow out on one of their tires you’ll have a back up

  38. Vijay Guest

    I have taken this flight a couple of times in the last 6 months. Personally, I liked the schedule - I live in London and usually in the US for work just 2-3 days at a time, so no time to adjust the sleep cycle. This flight allows me a full night's sleep at an airport hotel, a quiet airport experience, then I board this flight, land in London and go home to sleep.

    @at LHR is usually a premium + frequency battlefield. AA + BA run a shuttle service from JFK.

  39. at Gold

    The 767 is one of my favorite planes- and especially when I'm flying economy as there's only one middle seat per row. It also has a cozier feel given the narrower cabin.

    I wonder why they're flying this to LHR given the high demand. Wouldn't it make sense to have fewer flights with larger aircraft?

    Also Lucky, the casualty of your being such a great blogger is that you're now pretty well known-...

    Also Lucky, the casualty of your being such a great blogger is that you're now pretty well known- both by name and by face. So (through absolutely no fault of your own) it's difficult to fly under the radar (no pun intended). Still, admire your efforts to be as neutral and independent as possible under the circumstances.

  40. Stuart Diamond

    I sort of get the meal. It leans more to the brunch category. And desert is not unheard of with brunch. I mean, I agree that perhaps they could have simply had the Sundaes available for a mid flight treat. But then you have people sleeping. Given the route and time and length of the fight it's really a no win situation in pleasing everyone.

  41. Abidjan Gold

    Odd meal set-up is right. Makes no sense. Great to see the spiffed up 767. No middle seat in Premium Econ should be law.
