I've literally never not gotten an E+ seat, on any airline. Twice I've had to take a middle E+ seat when changing flights very late.
I don't think I'm the only UA elite who won't fly UA long-haul. All my international spend goes elsewhere.
Really? It's been a while since I've flown UA internationally (pre-covid) but I always thought that Polaris was very comfortable.... definitely one of the better business class seats. Even premium economy was pretty good. The food is pretty bad but honestly that's a minor issue IMO. I can always eat before the flight... that gives me more time to sleep anyway.
