Pros:

Flew Sydney to Houston on a 16 hours flight. The price was cheaper when compared to other airlines.

Cons:

The seat barely reclines and it was unconfortable in such a long flight. The flight attendants were mean and requested everyone not to stand-up from their seats, even thought the fast seat belts lights were not on. One of the fligth attendants distributing snacks just through it on my lap instead of handling it over.

Pros:

Flew a very long flight to Cape Town from Newark, first time on a 787, super comfortable playing very good air circulation and ceiling height, lived up to it billing as a more comfortable flight experience and arriving more rested. The premiere seats were quite good in the cabin area very small so the service was excellent.

Cons:

Really none at all

The cabin features United's new Polaris business class product. The seats are based on the Adlent Ascent design with direct aisle access, lie flat bed positions and privacy doors. There are two cabins and the middle seats in the second cabin are ideal for couples travelling together. The first row of seats in each cabin are designated as Polaris Studios thanks to their roomier interior and larger screens. Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity is provided.

Premium Plus consists of four rows of seven abreast seating. Seat pitch stands at 38" (97cm) and seat width at 19" (48cm). The seats recline up to 6" (15cm). These seats feature a privacy divider, 16" 4K entertainment screens and Bluetooth connectivity for headphones. The last row is best avoided as the seats have no window view and are close to the sole lavatory just behind.
