United Airlines Expands Polaris Business Class To Premium Transcon And Hawaii Routes

Without notice, United Airlines has introduced Polaris business class branding on select domestic flights. With that change comes one very important change to lounge access. United Airlines has begun rebranding select premium transcontinental and Hawaii flights as Polaris business class rather than United Business or First. We knew this was coming, but no date had been set for the changeover, which From The Tray Table noticed was…today. That following routes are impacted: The immediate takeaway is straightforward: front-cabin customers booking these flights now receive Polaris Lounge access where available, which is a real and tangible improvement and

United Rebrands Select Domestic Premium Cabins as Polaris® Business Class

A few weeks ago, I wrote about how United Airlines was rolling out “basic” fares across its Premium Plus and Polaris® (Business Class) cabins on international flights. Now, the airline has expanded the Polaris® Business Class on select domestic routes. Polaris® is now being applied to certain high-profile domestic flights, which marks a notable shift in how the airline markets its top-tier onboard experience and sets the stage for “basic” fares to arrive. The new Polaris® designation is limited to specific nonstop routes where United already offers a more premium onboard product. These include: It’s important to note

United Rolls Out Polaris Business Class On Domestic Flights (Transcon & Hawaii)

We knew this change was coming, though perhaps it’s happening a bit sooner than we were expecting, as flagged by Zach Griff. In this post: Polaris business class is the name of United’s long haul, international business class experience. Historically, the forward cabin on domestic flights has simply been marketed as first or business class, but not as Polaris business class. That has now changed. Effective immediately, United has introduced Polaris business class branding on select domestic flights: In the interest of clarity, let me emphasize that this branding applies specifically if booking nonstop flights in

Delta Airlines Boeing 767-300ER Premium Select Class Review HND-HNL

I recently flew in Delta Premium Select (premium economy) on the Delta Airlines Boeing 767-300 HND-HNL flight from Tokyo Haneda to Honolulu. This Delta Airlines premium economy review will talk about seats, food, amenities and so on. This was the key flight in my epic 41 hour birthday trip, since it was the one that let me have a “double” birthday. Because this flight crossing the International Date Line was the key to my whole trip idea, I ended up booking it earlier than some of my other flights, even while I waited till the last minute to book

HAWAIIAN AIRLINES: Alaska integration sees entry to OneWorld alliance

Alaska Airlines’ takeover of Hawaiian Airlines, finalised in September 2024, has been deliberately paced. April 22, 2026, stands out as one of the most consequential milestones. Today, multiple strands of the merger come together. This allows the two carriers to function as one behind the scenes while retaining distinct brands. Operationally, the shift includes a single passenger service system and a unified booking platform and app. But it also, most symbolically, sees the retirement of Hawaiian’s long-standing “HA” flight code in favour of Alaska’s “AS” code. Passengers will still board Hawaiian-branded aircraft on island routes. Every flight now
