As part of United Airlines’ media event in Los Angeles, I had the opportunity to step onboard its new Boeing 787-9 with the “Elevated” interior and walk through every cabin. I took photos of every seat and every angle, and now present a full tour of United’s most premium aircraft yet.
I’ll reserve final judgement until I fly it, but United’s new Dreamliners certainly appear to be a step up (evolution, not revolution, though) from the previous generation. Aesthetically, they are very pleasing and seat features in every cabin mark an improvement of the passengers experience.
The new 787-9 is configured with just 222 seats, including 64 Polaris business class seats, 35 Premium Plus seats, and 123 economy seats. That includes a remarkable 99 premium seats, the highest percentage among U.S. carriers.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
