This is a fun review because I’ll be reviewing the same United Airlines Polaris Business Class cabin on the same aircraft (777-300ER) on the same route (SFO-HKG) with the same flight number (UA869), but eight years after my first review, which you can find below this one.
This was part of my final journey as a Premier 1K member, which I outlined here.
After spending a couple hours in the SFO Polaris Lounge, I headed over to G5 for boarding of my 15-hour flight to Hong Kong.
Boarding for UA869 to Hong Kong began 45 minutes prior to departure.
