United Sets a New Standard: Elevated 787-9 Dreamliner Boasts Industry-Leading Premium Features
United Airlines is redefining long-haul comfort starting today, with tickets now available for its first Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner featuring the brand-new Elevated interior. Bringing the airline's most premium aircraft yet to the skies, United aims to deliver a class-leading experience across all cabins, highlighted by the introduction of eight United Polaris Studio suites and cutting-edge amenities at every seat.
Main Takeaway: Eight Polaris Studio Suites—25% Larger, Lie-Flat, Fully Private
The new Dreamliner boasts eight United Polaris Studio suites—each 25% larger than standard Polaris seats, featuring lie-flat beds, privacy doors*, an extra ottoman for companions, and exclusive amenities such as an Ossetra caviar amuse-bouche. This marks the highest percentage of premium seating among U.S. carriers on the route. In addition to privacy and comfort, every seat includes Saks Fifth Avenue bedding, exclusive hoodie-pajamas, and amenity kits featuring Perricone MD elevated skincare.
Every Passenger Gets an Upgrade: 4K Screens, Bluetooth, and Wireless Charging
United’s new 787-9 delivers a noticeable tech upgrade with the largest seatback screens of any U.S. airline—massive 27-inch 4K OLED displays in Polaris Studio, 19-inch in Polaris, 16-inch in Premium Plus, and 13-inch in Economy. Every seat—yes, even in Economy—comes with Bluetooth connectivity and multiple charging options, raising the standard for in-flight passenger experience.

United Plans Wider Rollout By 2027—30 Dreamliners with Elevated Interiors
United has ambitious plans, committing to roll out at least 30 Dreamliners with the Elevated interior globally by year-end 2027.
