Look out for Polaris-style salt and pepper globes on your upcoming United Airlines flight in domestic first class, affectionately (or derisively) called the “Death Star” by frequent flyers.
For those unfamiliar, the globes looked like this and were called “Death Star” becuase of their resemblance to the moon-sized space station and superweapon constructed by the Galactic Empire in the Star Wars franchise.
These “Death Star” globes are not quite the collector’s items that the salt and pepper “airplane” shakers are on Virgin Atlantic, but date back to the first iteration of Polaris, which debuted in 2016.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
