  • We're flying United Polaris, from Paris to Washington DC, which is one of the only airlines in the world that offers ice cream sundae's at 30,000 feet in the air. This review will cover the lounge experience, a complete seat tour, and the food and service onboard. Have we finally answered the question of which is the best US airline?

    Awesome flight review Mark, I've been wanting to try United Polaris. And YES a flight without Lord of the Rings or Star Wars is a lesser flight.

    Great trip report. The Lord of the Rings in Star Wars test is such a great idea. Two of my favorite movie series of all time I’d say

    Nice work! I flew Polaris for the first time recently. Pleasantly surprised. Best biz class bedding I’ve had so far. Nice seats. One passive aggressive cabin crew didn’t like we changed our minds and asked for express dining; otherwise very friendly staff. On the return I did need to wipe down the surfaces with three of their complimentary wet wipes since there were quite a few stains, but after that the rest of the fight was great.

    • @__withMark
      @__withMark  Месяц назад +2

      Agree with the bedding, it was super comfortable. I can see cabin crew differing flight to flight especially since this is a US airline

    Thanks for the breakdown. My highest priority is ability to sleep. How well did you sleep? How were your back, ne k and legs?

    • @__withMark
      @__withMark  24 дня назад

      Polaris bedding was very comfortable imo. No issues at all with space!

    hi, just checked seats aero... does transferring UR to Virgin Atlantic enables me to book via Virgin Australia? I see lots of availability either Aeroplan, Alaska, AA, Qantas & Virgin Australia, thanks

    • @__withMark
      @__withMark  2 месяца назад +1

      I believe you can transfer UR to Virgin Atlantic then you need to call Virgin Atlantic to book via Virgin Australia. Best advice is to call Virgin Atlantic to confirm the process before transferring any points over

    Some observations. Remote boarding on a long haul flight is not good. United's Polaris class seats are very nice, but I find Uniteds catering and service inconsistent.

    • @__withMark
      @__withMark  2 месяца назад

      To each their own when it comes to remote boarding. If its during the day, I'm personally a fan.
      Agreed that the Polaris seat was VERY comfortable. The lunch service was solid with the prawn dishes, but the pre-arrival meal left much to be desired.

  • @johnwick860
    @johnwick860 2 месяца назад +1

    hi Mark, did some additional research and unfortunately, Virgin Atlantic doesn't transfer to Virgin Australia Velocity... only Marriott transfers but 3:1... other YTs also confirmed this... also aside from Aeroplan, Velocity has the 2nd best availability on business class awards... maybe thats why... only Australians can access

    • @__withMark

      Thanks for getting back to me on this! Good to know for future reference

    I like simply beautiful cabin like this ! I don’t like airlines when put colors on like Emirates, they push too much fancying looks odd

  • @karenarocks5000
    @karenarocks5000 24 дня назад +1

    Nice. And you have enough room to recline? I could t tell.

    • @__withMark
      @__withMark  24 дня назад

      Yep, plenty of room for both lie flat and reclining!

    To be closer to my husband would it be better to choose middle seats?

    • @__withMark
      @__withMark  6 дней назад

      Yes choose the middle seats if your priority is to be close enough to chat with your husband!
      If you're in the front cabin, choose an odd numbered row. If you're in the rear business cabin, take rows either 10 or 12.

    For spending thousands of dollars in the sky? The food was not up to par with elegance and prestigious compared to other airlines. Or Maybe, it's just US airlines lol 😂

    Is there such a thing as a ‘good’ US airline? I think not, they are all terrible, period.
