United Airlines’ popular San Francisco to Sydney services are getting an upgrade to the carrier’s ‘Elevated’ Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, which feature the all-new Polaris Studio suites.

The Elevated Boeing 787-9 will operate on the San Francisco-Sydney route during the Northern Hemisphere winter season and southbound flights will commence on 2 December, operating until March 24, 2027.

United’s Boeing 787-9 aircraft with the all-new Elevated interior features a complete nose-to-tail redesign across every cabin.

Featuring 99 premium seats across Polaris Business and Premium Plus, it is United’s most premium international aircraft to date and introduces United Polaris Studio – a new premium suite that is 25% larger than the standard United Polaris seat.

The Polaris Studio features privacy doors, an additional ottoman for companions, exclusive onboard dining with curated wine pairings and caviar, wireless charging, Bluetooth connectivity, and a 27-inch 4K OLED seatback screen.

Every cabin has been upgraded on the latest Dreamliners, from the redesigned United Polaris suites with sliding doors and 19-inch 4K OLED screens, to refreshed seats in United Premium Plus and United Economy featuring 16-inch and 13-inch 4K OLED screens, respectively.

United plans to have 33 Elevated 787-9 aircraft in service by 2028 and further long-haul routes for the new jets are expected to be announced soon.
