At least United isn’t dumb enough to display Polaris seats there. I was picturing people booking a flight after admiring the seat, only to get an eight across seat on their actual flight. Until all planes have been converted, I’m not sure it makes sense to advertise a product that’s only intermittently available, even in the tasteful way they did it in this case.
Or a Polaris meal. But I agree, aren’t most of these seasonal flights using the older planes, like the 757?
