July 20 PEK-SFO Polaris Business
I was on N105UA for this flight. This plane was originally ordered by Northwest Airlines and ended up in the UA fleet because NW did not want it (and already retired N106UA) back in 1994. I took this exact same plane on my 1 millionth BIS flight from HKG to ORD in 2005.

CAPTMARK: Thank you for spelling out your cities of origin and destination instead of using airport codes. The codes are a pet peeve of mine since I (and probably many others) haven't memorized every single worldwide airport code yet...
The food looks great.

- you know, who needs a collection of hot and cold snacks and meals prepared to standard and brought to your seat by a highly trained crew member? I guess Polaris proves you don't.

Well when A rolled out the new 77W on the long haul flights some of the upgraded snacks went away after a few months... It's a nice idea to have snacks out so if you happen to be up and see them you can help yourself, however, I think more people would rather have it delivered snacks to their seats.
