It was just branded as regular domestic first class but happened to be on a plane equipped with the Polaris seats.

    So that's a Polaris seat (which are great) sold as domestic first. I've taken a few international Polaris flights over the last month, if United could figure out how to serve some good food it would be an automatic choice. Sadly, they can't, out of 8 meals, 1 was great some type of beef stew type thing (that's how the FA described it), 1 was okay, chicken curry with noodles and 2 were down right terrible, chicken breast with potatoes and chicken breast with veggies. Looking over on flyer talk it looks like generally there seems to be the same feelings.
