Just last week I wrote a post detailing the more important aspects you may need to know about United’s new Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner and now we know what the airline has planned for its new aircraft’s first long-haul routes.
In a press-release issued today United Airlines has confirmed that its 787-10 Dreamliner will operate 6 transatlantic routes out of New York (EWR) commencing 30 March 2019.
The launch route for international service is scheduled to be Newark to Frankfurt departing at 09:20 on 30 March 2019 but it would only take a short delay to see the Newark – Tel Aviv flight become the first international route (it’s scheduled to depart just 55 minutes later).
By 22 May 2019 United plans to be operating 5 services between New York and Europe using its 787-10 Dreamliners which means that Europe is about to get a lot more true Polaris Business Class service and a good taste of United’s very new Premium Economy product.
With United’s regular Business Class cabin really showing its age nowadays it will be great to have a number of routes to/from Europe that now offer United’s best premium cabin product.
In addition, it will be nice to have another Star Alliance Premium Economy product to choose from for times when Business Class is way too expensive and awards are hard to come by – I may well use one of these routes to try out the United Premium Economy product as soon as I can find space in my calendar.
Tickets for all these routes will go on sale from 3 December 2019 and it will be interesting to see how many award seats are released.
This foto of the Polaris cabin has been published before in other places.
There’s something wrong with it.
It looks as if the middle also only has one seat (like the side).
This is obviously a mistake.
The middle row is two-seated.
The image originally posted is correct and is of the Polaris Cabin in a refurbished United Airlines 767-300 where the layout is slightly different to what is found on the 787/777s. But, as this is a post about a Dreamliner, I should probably have chosen a better image to more closely represent what people will find onboard….image now changed. Thanks for pointing this out.
[…] year I’m hoping to finally try out United’s Polaris Business Class cabin (possibly on its new 787-10 Dreamliner) and possibly even the SWISS 777-300ER Business Class cabin….but I’m also hoping to […]
[…] Airlines scheduling team (I have no idea if that’s what they’re really called) with all of the 787-10 Dreamliner routes being planed for next year but it now it would appear they’ve been working on more than just that – there’s […]
