Shocked at how US airlines have overtaken Club World
Having just tried United Polaris back from Newark, and I must say:
- Great lounges and shower suites at Newark
- Sit down a la carte dining at Polaris Lounge
- Great cocktail bar with fast and friendly service
- New Polaris seats way better than CW - aisle access, storage space, decent bedding (2 x pillows), slippers etc. iPhone stand included, proper chargng facilities
- Modern and clean planes, with WiFi, and decent toilteries in the toilets
- Fresh fruit available for breakfast
- Decent enough arrivals lounge at T2, with suit pressing service
- Wide ranging and high quality IFE
And likewise from LHR out to Newark....
Frankly, I am surprised it was so good - and much more pleasant than a knackered BA 747, old CW seats with no storage and poor IFE, and the zoo of JFK
Polaris >>> Club World!
What are others thoughts?
BA had better get that Club Suite out fast and retire those knackered 747s ...
