    You'll get free pajamas on longer flights. When you board, ask for a mattress topper. It makes the lie flat bed much more comfortable. They have a limited amount and you can store it in your personal overhead bin until you're ready for it. Also, the secondary pillow is a gel pillow. Works great for lumbar support.

    tat is soooooo satisfying to see london after such a long hiatus from travels abroad...the hotel u stayed,i watched it being repurposed,upgraded n built from scratch to where it is now...Guess,nothing beats Emirates for now...maybe Singapore might or Thai!

    Life is good when you can fly business class overseas. Although I am not a fan of United. I try and search any Asianic airlines, since the food is always much better. Can't believe you guys got to experience Wimbleton. My family spent 2 weeks in Barcelona, just a beautiful country.

    Flew Polaris to PPT. The seat was a little tight and the food was awful, more like inedible. One of the flight attendants was very nice while the other didn’t seem to like his job. The Polaris club in SFO was nice and the waitress, Princess, was a star. We will see how the return goes.

    That same flight is half that. Maybe that was the combined prices. You can business class to Australia for less tge 9k. In my searching anyways. Yes over 4k to Europe is expensive, but i guess it could be cheaper if they did away quth points.

    I had a terrible experience flying United in Polaris, my chair was literally broken and when they tried to move it the seat belt got stuck with the safety equipment they attempted to fix it multiple times and handed me the life jacket because the jacket was stuck under the seat with the seatbelt coupled with not having our pre-ordered meals. Terrible experience

      @@saurabhb1041 because such extraordinary prices are in most places codified into law as "unjust enrichment" which another way if saying "price gouging". An airline seat is not a product, it is a service. You do not pay something and take a product home with you. How many airline executives or employees
      would get $ 9000+ in the same time frame a passenger would pay the same amount as a fare ?
