But you are entitled to your opinion and me to mine. Done here. I know better now.
United pretty clearly defines Polaris as the name for their long-haul international business class service. They aren’t saying Polaris is a certain type of seat other than you get a lie-flat which is found on all long-haul international flights anyway.

edit: To some, UA made the mistake of saying their reconfiguration of 777 and 787 business cabins was part of the upcoming Polaris service experience as it created the perception that Polaris was now also a specific type of J seat and cabin layout. Of course it didn’t apply to all long-haul international aircraft since the 757 and 767 fleets weren’t being reconfigured with new J seats. Only years later did UA make the decision to expand that change to 767s, too.
