Take your travel to the next level with United
From perks to premium experiences and a reward program that gives you more ways to earn and use miles, here’s how you can get the most out of your travels on United, wherever they take you.
Premier benefits start at the airport
As a traveller in United Polaris, you’ll get Premier Access℠ at your departure airport and enjoy a priority check-in line, priority bag handling and more. Flying international long-haul? Our network includes more than 45 United Club℠ locations, 6 United Polaris℠ lounges, and partner lounges. These signature spaces are designed for international business class travellers and created with your comfort in mind. Premium amenities such as spa-like facilities, stocked with Therabody products, help you start relaxing for your journey before your flight even takes off. Recharge in private rest areas and refuel with food from a buffet while you’re there, or opt for a sit-down meal in a private dining space.
If there’s no United Polaris lounge at your departure airport, you’ll get access to another United Club℠ location or partner lounge. If you reach MileagePlus℠ premier, you’ll unlock Star Alliance Gold membership for access to United Club locations on your day of departure with one guest traveling on the same flight.
United Polaris℠ Business class
Once you’re on board, you’ll enjoy private seats that can recline into a lie-flat bed and a sleep amenity kit designed by Therabody. This care kit includes eye serum, face spray, hand cream, socks, ear plugs and an eye mask to help you wind down and relax your way. Browse new Hollywood blockbusters, your favourite television shows, or live TV on your larger entertainment screen, request some mattress cushions for extra comfort and settle in. Enjoy a custom Saks Fifth Avenue sleep set with a Saks Day blanket (made from recycled plastic), complete with a duvet and a cooling gel pillow, for your rest and relaxation. If you want to arrive at your destination feeling ready to take on the day that awaits you, this is just some of what awaits you in United Polaris cabins.
The elevated service continues with inflight dining options, redesigned for United Polaris and featuring dishes from around the globe. You’ll get a main entrée of your choosing from the inflight dining menu, mid-flight snacks, and a second dining service. All drinks, including beer, wine and liquor are free.
Fly a lot of miles? Earn a lot of ways
However much you fly as a business traveller, earn rewards across work and personal travel that you can use for onboard benefits like Wi-Fi, save on things like checked bags fees, and even turn into an award flight.
United MileagePlus gives you the most ways to earn and use miles among other U.S. global airlines, including on Star Alliance partner flights, and your miles never expire. We have the most award destinations of any U.S. airline frequent flyer program, and you can use miles to cover some or all of the cost of your next United flight or seat upgrade, by booking with Money + Miles. United’s international partners also accept MileagePlus miles as a form of payment.
The benefits don’t end there, though! MileagePlus Premier℠ status is another premium offering that can take your travel experience to the next level. Not only can members enjoy benefits like free upgrades and free access to Economy Plus℠ — qualifying for even Premier Silver status gets you priority check-in at the airport, three free checked bags in premium cabins, priority boarding, and discounts to make your work travel easier.
