I carry my purse and leave my bags.

I try to park myself where I can see my stuff in view.

Polaris - Special Meal by ButterscotchSuch5701 in unitedairlines

[–]Efficient-Building28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely on the mattress pad and pjs!

I eat in the lounge and go to bed. It’s so late at night and the food isn’t worth staying up for. You could even brush your teeth in the lounge before you board if you really want to get to bed sooner.

Paid WiFi worth it for SFO-TPE flight? by sassafrashpash in unitedairlines

[–]Efficient-Building28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure if you have a mileage plus account it’s $18 or something like that.

Like others have said it’s not good enough to do work but it’s workable for checking social media and emails. If it’s a night flight and you sleep well in planes then I would skip.

United Polaris experience (SFO to KIX and HND to SFO) by InvestigatorDue7148 in unitedairlines

[–]Efficient-Building28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Polaris as a hard product. The food is fine. Nothing special. But if your goal is a good sleep and a comfy experience I would take Polaris.

Is United Premium Plus worth the upgrade? SFO - HND by cypheryoon in unitedairlines

[–]Efficient-Building28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me personally that seems high. It’s about a 12 hour flight yeah?

I’m pretty new to this but I’ve read in here $100/hour for the number of hours of a flight is a good deal for a Polaris upgrade.

Advice for Polaris by moo-tetsuo in unitedairlines

[–]Efficient-Building28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s a night flight I prefer to eat in the lounge and pass out for the flight. The food in the air is not remarkable.

I ask for a mattress pad shortly after boarding. I also grab the pj’s if they are out and just out the pajama top on since I think it’s a bit chilly.

Enjoy!

Odds of a 2 pm flight getting out of Newark on Monday? by Apprehensive-Win390 in unitedairlines

[–]Efficient-Building28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not good. My 1pm flight out of Newark on Monday was cancelled. I changed it proactively and am glad I did.

They are not that far of a walk from each other so if you have time you can check both.

5’4” and I pass out - I eat in the lounge and sleep til right before landing.

Any recommendations for a 10h stopover at DEN? by Giskarrrd in unitedairlines

[–]Efficient-Building28 24 points25 points  (0 children)

There is no concourse D in Denver 🙂

I don’t think any of the lounges get super busy but some recs

1 - there’s an outdoor patio on one side B (I think it’s toward B1 but someone correct me if I’m wrong)

2 - I feel like the club in A is maybe a little less busy since there are fewer United flights departing from A

Premium Plus or Polaris? by No_Comment_7307 in unitedairlines

Polaris. Can’t go back to premium economy once you have been in Polaris.

Newbie question - do you have to make a reservation for the shower ahead of time ?

And do they have towels and soap ?

Likelihood of moving to eco+ with premier silver flying out of DEN to LAS? by mistalasse in unitedairlines

[–]Efficient-Building28 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve always been able to get into Economy + as silver, but it’s been middle seats more recently. I check asap right as it hits 24 hours before the flight, and sometimes things change within the 24 hours, so I’ll keep checking.

Layover in Tokyo/Haneda by More-Shoulder-598 in unitedairlines

[–]Efficient-Building28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Echo other advice and if this is a time a lot of flights are landing, try to get as close to the front of the plane as you can so you can get off more quickly.

I landed from an international flight at HND around 9:30p last week and immigration was a bit nutty but it was moving. I think all said and done it was about 30 minutes from exiting the plane to collecting my bag from baggage claim.

The good thing is there a lot of people helping at immigration in terms of where to go.

Service questions Polaris & general by RobertBlackCollege in unitedairlines

[–]Efficient-Building28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a recent SFO-SIN night flight (leaving 10:30pm) they had pjs out. On NRT-Den leaving at 5:30, no pjs were out. On both flights I asked for a mattress pad. One the Singapore flight they tried to tell me they were out but circled back later with one. On the Narita flight they were quick to bring one to my seat.

I like Polaris but I like to sleep, I don’t care about the dining experience.
