I flew on a United Airlines internationally-configured 777-200ER from San Francisco to Newark in Polaris Business Class, my first time flying on a premium transcontinental flight on United Airlines since the carrier rebranded some of its domestic routes as Polaris. The flight was mostly pleasant, though the lack of functional Wi-Fi was particularly difficult for me.
I turned lemons into lemonade after my San Francisco – Chicago flight canceled (mechanical), rebooking myself onto this more circuitous routing which most people might find horrifying but I found a pleasant way to spend my day (I miss my “office in the sky” days from the pandemic).
Boarding began at 7:55 am from Gate F11. I was enjoying my time in the lounge and traveling with only a small duffel bag (so no concern over overhead bin space), thus I decided to board last and did not step onboard until 8:30 am.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
