United Airlines' new 222-seat Boeing 787-9 is one of the most premium-heavy long-haul aircraft any US airline has introduced in recent years.
United's new 787-9 features only 222 seats, with 99 in premium cabins, reducing economy density.
KEY POINTS
- The aircraft introduces Polaris Studio, an even more exclusive business class suite above standard Polaris.
- United will debut these premium-heavy 787-9s on domestic routes before launching SFO-Singapore and SFO-London in 2026.
- Premium Plus and economy cabins are also upgraded, including the world's largest economy seatback screens.
- United's Relax Row economy couch product will not launch on these jets until 2027.
