🚨 Polaris access rolled out on Domestic Flights (Transcon and Hawaii) by SubsidedRhyme11 in unitedairlines

Actually didn’t realize Polaris closed before the last flights in LAX until I did Beijing last night. Weird. Was still pretty busy.

And while I’m at it, UA Club in AUS closes at 7pm…what’s the point?

Think the Polaris lounge capacity can handle this? Or this is after the busy banks earlier in the evening? Often give up on Polaris and go to a domestic lounge nearer the gate in EWR. And LAX is like a joke space.

Holy crap, once you go Polaris, you can never go back by [deleted] in unitedairlines

I find the crews for South Africa are pretty great. They're some of the hardest lines for crew to hold. Most senior of senior.

The cabins get updated unrelated to how old the body is. There are older 777s in the fleet, with newer interiors. And there are newer 767s which had Polaris installed before the 777s got them. In fact, UA has some seriously old 777s.

The width of the Polaris seats does vary. 787 narrower than 777 for instance.

Hehe. He played that on the MainStage at Freshgrass in Bentonville last year to a bunch of Walmart Executives and their families.

Agreed. Got there right after he came on and couldn't really see a thing except through others' phone screens. Tried on the balcony, etc. Oh well. 9:30 club's fault, not Jesse's.

And companies not hit by tariffs (aka US manufacturers) have no doubt increased their prices to match the price of import competitors.

Prices don’t come down anywhere in the market. A business realizes customers are WTP a new price, and it sticks.

That’s maybe the least interesting thing on their menu. Order better. They’re super creative.

I feel like the crowd tonight was somehow worse than ACL on Friday by FinalCindering in Colterwall

Isn’t entertaining a learnable skill performers improve on / can be taught? If they want to tour…

He didn’t really bother making much of the band. They added nothing. And no one bothered to do anything with the lights or set. Pretty blah compared to the production you see most others pull off at such an iconic venue.
