Business class is an airline class above economy and premium economy classes with upgraded amenities, service, and seating. While business class is a significant upgrade over said economy, or the slightly cushier premium economy, it is still a step below the top-of-the-line first class on 777-200 ER V.1 when available.

Premium economy

A seat in premium economy on 777-200 ER V.1 — directly between the main and business class cabins is measurably more expensive than an economy class ticket and often sells at double the price.

When you purchase an economy class ticket on 777-200 ER V.1, it means you are sitting in the main cabin, and not located in first or business class. Seats are smaller and packed more closely together, and in-flight services are limited. Economy class seats on domestic routes usually have a seat pitch ranging from a very tight 27 to a generous 32 inches (68.5 - 81 cm).

First class

The price of a first class tickets on 777-200 ER V.2 ticket varies depending on the airline, flight destination and the time/date of ticket purchase. On average, first class tickets for domestic flights in the United States cost at least $1,300 – but travelers looking to fly first class internationally, will pay significantly higher prices.

In economy class: Exit rows, aisle or window seats, and anywhere close to the front are typically considered the best seats on board. On a short business trip, you might want an aisle seat near the front of the plane so you can disembark as quickly as possible upon arrival.

First class seats are at the very front of the 777-200 V.2, and they are typically several inches wider than the seats in business class and have 10 to 30 inches more legroom. One of the many advantages of choosing first class seating on an airplane is that there is a much smaller passenger-to-attendant ratio, with other little perks.

Passengers seated in business class on 777-300 ER can expect to enjoy a selection of premium meals and beverages. These are usually vastly superior to those offered in economy class which may not include free meals at all on some flights. You can expect a comfortable seat with more legroom but it may not fully recline on domestic flights.

Depending on the airline, premium economy passengers get extra legroom, extra recline, extra seat width, priority boarding, priority luggage allowances, extra earned miles, amenity kits, larger in-flight entertainment screens, upgraded headphones, and premium meals.

Where to Sit When Flying United’s New 777-200: Economy and Economy Plus

Unlike up in Polaris biz , where the seats are physically identical to those on the 777-300ER , United selected an entirely new product for economy class in its 777-200.

The new seat, manufactured by Rockwell Collins, is called Aspire, and will eventually be used on United's 787-10 Dreamliners , along with Airbus A350s and 787s headed to other carriers.

Aspire isn't a complete reinvention of the economy seat , of course — the design is very similar to recent models, including those on the United 777-300ER (77W) — but according to UA these are a bit wider, at 17.25 inches compared to 17.05 on the 77W.

Most economy seats are arranged in a 3-4-3 configuration, although there are five paired seats, as outlined below.

Each seat offers on-demand entertainment and a USB charging port, and there's at least one universal power outlet for every two seats throughout the cabin.

Economy Cabin

United's retrofitted 777-200s sport a total of 242 economy seats , compared with 221 prior to their update. Most of those additional seats come from a jump from a 3-3-3 arrangement, with up to 18.1-inch seat width, to 3-4-3 with a width of 17.25 inches. That's a noticeable decline, especially when it comes to shoulder space.

There are also far fewer Economy Plus seats — 80 on the new version, compared with a whopping 113 on the previous configuration. Economy Plus seat pitch remains at a respectable 34 inches. The retrofitted plane has 162 regular coach seats as well, with 31 inches of pitch.

Which Seats to Pick (Economy Plus)

While squeezing into 3-4-3 coach on a 777 is nobody's idea of a good time — except perhaps for one TPG contributor — there are actually a few seats on this plane that you might be able to tolerate, even on a 16-hour flight from the East Coast to Asia.

Naturally, my top picks in Economy Plus fall in the bulkhead rows — starting with 27, above and below. You'll want to consider the window and aisle seats there — 27A, 27C, 27J or 27L. You could certainly do worse than the aisle seats in Row 26 (26D and 26G), too.

Even better, though, is Row 40, just behind Door 3. You'll have a ton of space on both sides, but the port seats offer even more legroom — 40A and 40C are big winners in my book.

40K and 40L on the starboard side are fantastic options, too, though do keep in mind that it may get a bit chilly near the exits, especially during a long-haul flight.

Which Seats to Pick (Economy)

You're probably not going to believe this, but even as an elite member able to select Economy Plus for free, if traveling with just one companion I might skip the extra legroom in favor of 38A and 38B, the only paired seats in the forward coach cabin.

If those are already taken, there are four more pairs to choose from at the far back of coach — 51A and B, 51K and L, 52A and B and 52K and L.

You'll get a bit more recline in Row 51, and you'll be an extra couple feet away from the lavatories and galley, located just behind 52.

If you can't get one of the paired seats, I'd opt for an aisle or window elsewhere in the cabin.

Which Seats to Avoid

Any in the middle — duh!

More specifically, I'd first avoid E and F center seats, followed by B and K seats on the port and starboard sides, respectively. Do keep in mind that aisle seats in the five paired sets mentioned above are designated B and K as well, but those obviously only have a seat on either the left or right side.

I'd also avoid all of the seats in Row 53, since they're located directly in front of the rear galley and lavatories, not to mention the fact that they offer incredibly limited recline.

I could maybe see picking this row if I were the only occupant, perhaps, both otherwise there isn't any reason to sit all the way in the back.

Bottom Line

While United's new 3-4-3 seats look and feel decent, you're losing nearly an inch of width over the previous version — if given a choice between this fresh retrofit and the older three-cabin 777-200, I'd choose the previous configuration any day.

Currently, there's just one plane flying with this new arrangement — N786UA — and it's a bit of a moving target. In the past week, it's been flying between San Francisco (SFO) or Washington, DC (IAD) and Frankfurt (FRA) or London (LHR), depending on the day. United's committed to adding a Polaris-equipped plane every 10 days through 2020, though, so you'll see these start popping up much more often soon.

Review: United Airlines 777 Polaris business class, San Francisco to Newark

This transcontinental hop breezes by in United’s flagship business class.

Overall Rating

United Airlines 777 Polaris business class, San Francisco to Newark

San Francisco to New York

Aircraft type, united airlines, cabin class, business class.

Introduction

United Airlines’ business class is one of the best ways to fly when jetting between the east and west coast hubs of New York and San Francisco. With international grade seats, a full meal service, all aboard a widebody Boeing 777, United is clearly working hard for the business of the transcontinental traveller.

Since United’s flagship Polaris Lounge at San Francisco is only available to international travellers, we visited the United Club lounge, located on Terminal 3.

Access to the lounge is reserved for United Club members, business class travellers on United’s transcontinental service, Star Alliance Gold members on an international flight, and international business or first class passengers jetting off on any Star Alliance flight.

Once you're in, head down via the stairs or the elevator and you’ll find a variety of zones tailored to relaxing and socialising, plus a number of small alcoves more suited to work. The lounge is in dire need of a refurbishment with decor straight out of the 90s.

As this was a morning flight the lounge had a small buffet including make-your-own breakfast tacos, as well as a selection of salads, wraps, chips and fruits. Several coffee, soft drink, and juice machines are available. House wines and other alcholic drinks are complimentary at the bar, and premium drinks are available at an extra cost.

My visit happened during the morning peak so the lounge was at full capacity - however you could still find a seat if you looked around. Overall, this was the weakest part of the journey.

United Airlines currently offers daily Boeing 777-300 flights between San Francisco and New York, with UA1442 departing SFO at 8:30am, arriving at EWR at 4:47pm.

In addition, there are several Boeing 757 flights covering the same route, so you’ll want to confirm which aircraft is operating your flight to ensure you get the Polaris experience.

If you’re travelling with only hand luggage, using the United Airlines app is the fastest way to check in for your flight – it’ll even capture your passport using the phone’s camera – and get a mobile boarding pass, so you can skip the check-in desks and head straight to immigration.

Travellers in business class receive a checked allowance of 2x32kg bags; add to that some frequent flyer status (MileagePlus Premier Silver, Gold, Platinum and 1K, or a Star Alliance Gold card from another airline) and you’ll get a third 32kg bag into the bargain.

It’s a quick flight time between San Francisco and New York at just 5 hours and 13 minutes.

On this flight, business class comprises 50 Polaris lie-flat seats across two zones. The now familiar 1-2-1 layout created by Acumen Design combines forward-facing and angled seats in a dovetail arrangement, which provides every passenger with direct aisle access.

The seats are well-appointed and sport a premium finish in blue and grey, with a wraparound shell offering a degree of individual privacy. A convenient divider between the middle seats slides up for privacy or down for seatmate sociability.

In terms of storage, each seat gets a small side compartment to keep your travel gear and amenities close at hand. This is also where United hangs its noise-cancelling headphones – plus a small vanity mirror.

While the storage options are quite limited within the seat, there’s plenty of space overhead. Individual air vents are overhead too. This might not seem like a big deal at first, but having the ability to control the temperature in your immediate area is greatly appreciated.

When it comes to getting work done, a spacious tray table slides smoothly out from under the video screen, while a large faux-marble benchtop on the side is wide enough to spread out any work-related documents.

Above this: the IFE controller, a combo AC/USB power socket and the headphone jack.

There’s a second USB port next to a small recess beneath the video screen, providing an additional spot to charge your smartphone or tablet while they sit snugly out of your way.

There are several lighting options around the seat – one standalone lamp, a small push-out reading light, an overhead light and some ambient lighting under the ottoman.

If you’d rather a mid-flight siesta, the seat transforms into a fully-flat 198-centimetre bed, with plush Saks Fifth Avenue bedding, mattress pad and comfortable cooling gel foam pillow.

Individual controls for the leg rest and lumbar support allow you to work out your optimum position.

United doesn’t provide the full Away-designed flying kit – as they do in long-haul international flights – for their transcontinental crossings. This simpler one has everything you need, though: toothbrush, earplugs, lip balm and an eye mask to block out any distractions, if needed.

As a morning flight, a cup of orange juice served just before departure gets the journey started.

This was followed by an option of French toast or quiche for breakfast, but the French toast ran out by the time the flight attendant reached our seat. So, we went with the quiche with sausages instead. This was a well designed meal, with plenty of flavour and a decent portion size.

Closer to landing, the meal service was capped off with an assorted cheese and meat platter, which I paired with a chilled Stella Artois beer.

This plate wasn't very appetising, with both the cheese and cold cuts of quite basic quality.

Entertainment & Service

Sit back and relax with United’s inflight entertainment system, offering a broad selection of movies, TV shows and music by means of a crisp, 16-inch HD touchscreen monitor.

Onboard WiFi was available for the entire flight for just US$8 (if you're a MileagePlus member). With an average speed of 6.2mbps for downloads and 0.13mbps for uploads, it was more than sufficient for email and web browsing.

Of course, there’s also an inflight map you can use to keep tabs on your progress across the States. But the best entertainment of all was the approach to Newark Airport (EWR). Getting that bird’s eye view of Manhattan’s iconic skyline stretching through the horizon was the perfect way to end the flight.

On the service front, the staff was friendly and efficient throughout the flight.

United’s Polaris business class is good all-around product from a US-based airline, and certainly the go-to option for travellers jetting from San Francisco to New York.

While seats and service were great, the dining and lounge experience from San Francisco both leave room for improvement. If enhanced, they would definitely make this a better way to fly.

Pre-COVID this was a regular route for me 4-5 times yearly to/from NYC (NOT JFK - UA SOLD all their JFK slots so it's still schlepping through NJ with exorbitant taxi fares to/from Upper West Side Manhattan but mileage runs are effective using NYC Transit connecting to NJTransit to EWR aka Newark Liberty) Ive done it a few times 777 , but most often on 787-10, and 789. I'm invariably 1A or 1K where you have a LABELLED overhead locker for your seat, whereas centre seats row 1+2 Polaris have no overhead locker due to the crew rest area above. T3 United Club is renovated compared to what it used to be, but doesnt match fully renewed United Club at LAX I highly recommend it, and avoid the 787-10 which has SUPER NARROW seating worse than the old Swiss Business coffins Oh, and the lounges/on board are quite good for celeb spotting eg Pink, Morgan Freeman, Condeleeza Rice etc etc etc

Forgot to add - SFO United Club fullness is not nearly as tragic as the tired, old, always overfull decrepit Qantas Domestic Lounge Sydney And if you have an Amex Centurion/Platinum charge card then the Amex Lounge with its always rostered Lounge Entry aka Sentry Dragons near Gate 77 is passable, albeit better food. In the old days you would just use the Post security connector (stil lthere at SFo) to the Inrernational Gates and use the SingaporeAir and EVA lounges, no swallowed up by the Polaris Lounge It is often quicker after checking in at Domestic Gates UA to use skytrain and enter via International GAtes (passport ready) and use to post security connector to United Domestic

Flying this on the 787-10 in may on the same route so v helpful knowing that to expect

Shame the Polaris dining is out of bounds, especially since AA allows Flagship First dining on the transcontinental run

Nothing beats Flagship First Dining at LAX and JFK pre COVID, but SFO doesn't have a Flagship First Dining Room. And the added bonus is you can depart/arrive in NY, so just a standard $US 55 + Toll +Tip to anywhere in Manhattan, instead of a US$100 + Tip+Toll to/from EWR New Jersey. And for daytrips, its relatively easy to use NY SubwayTransit to Jamaica Station then JFK Airtrain

Sounds like the Amex Centurion is the way to go

And thanks for clarifying the JFK/EWR difference with respect to transportation cost

I would highly recommend reserving a car service through Carmel or equivalent (you call on arrival with a reservation, so there's no waiting fees); or, as cbourl says, to take the AirTrain + subway / Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) combo instead. No more than $20 each way, and if you're going in rush hour, less time. You can go to the new Grand Central Madison (east side) or Penn Station (west side) and connect by subway or taxi from there.

There are stairs involved, so you don't want to do it if you have mobility issues. But it is a significantly cheaper, and often faster way to get to Manhattan.

Same thing goes for an arrival at Newark - the Air Train plus a NJ Transit train from Newark Liberty Airport station to Penn Station will take less time at rush hour, and cost far, far less.

Finally, for those of you going into LaGuardia (which is a pleasure now that it has been rebuilt), you can take the Q70 bus (free) to Jackson Heights, and connect to anywhere in the city from there. A grand total of $2.75, compared with $40+ with an Uber or taxi.

Happy to clarify if anyone has questions

Pre Departure Berverage served in a plastic cup?

Plastic yes so you can hang onto cup and sip right until take off and so cabin crew dont have to do a glass collection prior to take off. At least you are offered a pre-departure bevvy, sparkling white included! Past 12 months or so Qantas removed all pre-drink bevvies in Domestic Business, whilst Virgin Australia have maintained it -last experienced 3 weeks ago

FYI Domestic Flights are not called Polaris. They’re simply United First. It’s foolish to think you’ll get international business class treatment on a transcon flight in the US. That’s a nonstarter.

Where to Sit When Flying United’s New 777-200: Economy and ...
United's retrofitted 777-200s sport a total of 242 economy seats, compared with 221 prior to their update. Most of those additional seats come from a jump from a 3-3-3 arrangement, with up to 18.1-inch seat width, to 3-4-3 with a width of 17.25 inches. That's a noticeable decline, especially when it comes to shoulder space.
Review: United Airlines 777 Polaris business class, San ...
United Airlines’ business class is one of the best ways to fly when jetting between the east and west coast hubs of New York and San Francisco. With international grade seats, a full meal service, all aboard a widebody Boeing 777, United is clearly working hard for the business of the transcontinental traveller.
