Take a look at United's huge Polaris Studio suites with 27-inch screens coming to its Boeing Dreamliners
United Airlines unveiled new cabins for future Boeing 787 Dreamliner jets.
Polaris Studio suites will feature 27-inch screens, and have caviar and Champagne on the menu.
Business class will now have sliding privacy doors, and economy has the largest screens of its class.
United Airlines last week unveiled its plans for an all-new cabin, with some huge business-class suites.
The top premium cabin will include two rows of Polaris Studio suites, which have 27-inch 4K screens. Passengers will be able to dine on caviar and sip on Laurent-Perrier Champagne.
Its standard Polaris suites will also be upgraded with the addition of a sliding privacy door and larger 19-inch screens.
Premium-economy seats will feature wireless charging and a built-in reading light for the first time. Even coach is getting an upgrade, with what United says is the largest screens of any economy cabin.
Every cabin will also have access to Bluetooth connectivity to use their own headphones with the in-flight entertainment.
The new suites and upgraded interiors will be available on United's new Boeing 787 Dreamliners, with the first expected to be delivered by the end of the year.
Their first international flights are planned in 2026, from San Francisco to Singapore and London.
United's new Boeing 787s will feature an upgraded Polaris business class.
The first rows of each business-class section will be dedicated to Polaris Studio suites.
They come with more space and more amenities and are closer to a traditional first-class suite.
It includes access to the tarmac-transfer program — a chauffeur ride that's ideal for making a connecting flight.
These are 25% larger than the standard Polaris offering.
Six of these eight suites also come with an extra ottoman seat so you can hang out with a travel companion.
United says they're also set to have the largest screens of any 787 in the US.
Bedding will be provided by Saks Fifth Avenue.
The suites also have wireless charging, and power and USB-C sockets.
These elite Studio suites also have the service to match.
Passengers will be offered Laurent-Perrier Rosé Champagne and an amuse-bouche of Ossetra caviar.
There are upgraded amenities, including United-branded playing cards.
Skincare products are provided by Perricone MD, and there are noise-cancelling headphones, pajamas, and slippers.
The business-class cabin includes a grab-and-go snack station.
The regular Polaris suites will now feature sliding privacy doors.
The central divider can also be lowered to bed height, which could be ideal for friends or couples flying together.
At 19 inches, its 4K OLED touchscreen is smaller than the Studio suites.
Seat choice can also play a role in adding more privacy.
United is also upgrading its premium economy offering called Premium Plus.
Wireless charging and a reading light in the privacy divider are new additions for United's Premium Plus.
The 4K screen measures 16 inches, while there will also be holders for water bottles and headphones.

FAA caps flights at Newark Airport to cut delays through 2025
The Federal Aviation Administration finalized new air traffic restrictions at Newark Liberty International Airport, saying that arrivals and departures would be limited to 34 each per hour through Oct. 25, 2025. Arrivals and departures at EWR will be further reduced on weekends from Sept. 1 through the end of the year to accommodate airport construction. The FAA previously signaled it was planning to reduce traffic at Newark in response to weeks of delays caused by equipment outages and staffing issues that hampered the airport's capacity. "The confirmed reduced rates will maintain safety while alleviating excessive flight delays at the airport due to staffing and equipment challenges. The early completion of runway construction at the airport that added to the delays will also contribute to a more efficient operation," the FAA said in a statement. "Working with airlines and the airport, the limited arrival rate already paid dividends over the Memorial Day holiday with smooth travel into and out of Newark." United Airlines, which operates a major hub at Newark, touted the airport's on-time rate over the previous week. "Newark (EWR) is the most reliable airport in the New York City area this week," the airline said in a statement. United noted that 79% of its departures from Newark were on time between June 2 and June 5, while 88% of arrivals landed at Newark on time, and 90% of the airline's flights departing Newark arrived at their destinations on time. At a press conference announcing the early completion of a runway reconstruction project at the airport, alongside Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, United CEO Scott Kirby said that travelers in and out of Newark will be able to take advantage of great airfare deals this summer. "We did get well behind on bookings because of the perception issues around Newark recently, so that means more seats are available, which means the fares are better than they're probably going to ever be in the years to come, so now's the time to book your vacation if you want to go to Europe or you want to head across the country," he said.
