United’s first new “Elevated” Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner with Polaris Studio suites is heading back to Boeing after a rough start in commercial service. Whatever the precise technical issue, it appears serious enough to hobble service and now pull United’s most exciting new aircraft out of the schedule.
This Dreamliner is the first United 787-9 with the carrier’s new “Elevated” interior, including the new Polaris Studio suites, updated Polaris business class seats with doors, Premium Plus, and a refreshed economy cabin. This aircraft was supposed to represent the future of United’s longhaul premium experience.
Instead, it is taking a detour back to Boeing.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
