United Airlines is increasing its provisioning of pajamas in Polaris Business Class on many longhaul routes, meaning you no longer will have to pounce on the limited number of sets available ahead of your next flight.
More Pajamas + Slippers In United Airlines Polaris Business Class
United Airlines offers pajamas in business class on its flights that are longer than 14 hours (a recent change from 12 hours).
A memo to flight attendants reviewed by Live And Let’s Fly reveals that pajamas will finally be fully provisioned (meaning there will be enough for every passenger in business class) on these longhaul flights.
We’re adding slippers and pajamas at 100% on request in the Polaris cabin for additional markets.
These products will now be available on all long-haul international Polaris flights between the U.S. to/from Africa, Asia, India, the Pacific and the Middle East starting on flights out of the U.S. on January 15.
Here are some details:
- Pajamas will be provided out of the hubs in the U.S. for outbound and return flights.
- Slippers will be provided at the hubs and international locations for their departure flights.
- Mattress pads on these routes remain at 40% provisioning
It has been a rough week…I just wrote this post mostly so I could post Bubbles DeVere:
Pajamas! Pajamas for everyone!
On a serious note, this is a good move from United, even if long overdue.
It’s a shame the longest flights between the West Coast and Europe (all under 14 hours) have been cut. It’s also a shame that mattress pads are only provisioned at 40% when they make such a positive difference in aiding sleep…but hey, better than another MileagePlus cutback, right?
There are a couple of exception markets that offer pajamas like Newark – Marrakech (only 7.5 hours) and the upcoming IAD-DSS service (8.5 hours).
I sense that these pajamas will still not be proactively offered. Be sure to ask for them if you’re stepping onto a longhaul Polaris flight.
