The aircraft will take its inaugural international flight for customers from San Francisco to Singapore, UA1, on April 22. It will launch its second international route from San Francisco to London, UA901, on April 30.
Unveiled last May, this new aircraft has been redesigned from nose-to-tail with 99 total premium seats – the highest of percentage among U.S. carriers – and marks the introduction of the airline’s new United Polaris Studio suites: 8 lie-flat, all-aisle-access seats that are 25% larger than standard United Polaris® seats with privacy doors, an extra ottoman seat, exclusive entrée options, an Ossetra caviar amuse-bouche service, new amenity kits with elevated skincare offerings, wireless charging, Bluetooth connectivity, and a 27-inch, 4K OLED seatback screen – the largest among U.S. carriers.
United plans to have at least 30 Boeing 787-9’s with the Elevated interior flying around the globe by the end of 2027.
