United's long-teased "Elevated" interior is finally bookable. Starting today, travelers can purchase seats on the airline's redesigned 787-9 Dreamliner — the most premium-dense international aircraft in United's fleet, with 99 of 222 seats in premium cabins.
The headliner is the new United Polaris Studio℠ suite: eight lie-flat, all-aisle-access seats that are 25% larger than standard Polaris seats, with privacy doors, a companion ottoman, wireless charging, and a massive 27-inch 4K OLED screen — the largest seatback display among U.S. carriers. Even Economy gets a meaningful upgrade: 13-inch 4K OLED screens with Bluetooth at every seat and larger overhead bins.
The inaugural international flight, UA1, departs San Francisco for Singapore on April 22, with SFO–London following on April 30. United plans to have at least 30 Elevated 787-9s flying by the end of 2027 — a significant fleet-wide transformation for long-haul travelers.
