Everything You Want to Know About Where to Sit on 763 / 76Q (30/24/32/117) Polaris+PP
First things first, how are the comfort items ?
At the seat
A big of stack of items that cramp up the 767's aisle seat's space but are ever so comfortable
pictured is the new heart shaped Therabody amenity kit ....
reusable but....
ideal as give away for upcoming Valentine's day for both my kids their girlfriends
And the loo has
Missing was the handcream, but the other loo had 2 of those but no face mist ... whoops ...
PDB to make VFTW proud
- water
- champagne : indeed Laurent Perrier
+ santizing wipe
We are on the 767 so that means we can guess the usual routes of these aircraft,
as the Polaris seat pocket had onlly these f&b menus,
strangely no Polaris menus were to be found in the seatpocket.
Anyway still on the ground awaiting for boarding to be completed...... i had a browse :
* payable food items ?
With no Polaris menus loaded on this flight...
added also to some consternation & hilarity in all cabins on board,
overhearing the Dutch spoken onboard by passengers,
as native Dutchies were caught by surprise one must pay for breakfast / lunch / dinner & drinks as they browsed the BOB menu.
Sensing confusion, the Dutch-spraking inflight crew had to explain over the public address system that United was still serving complimentary food & drinks in all cabins.
He mentioned for economy being served a chicken lunch and the second meal being a pizza bread.... Could not hear what the food was for premium economy as the lady influencer across the aisle had to suddenly loud live stream " OMG,
like guys, i'm
like in so called "business" class, we have
like no menus, this is
like so ghetto, how do i bear with
like not having choice, will keep you
like updated if i can get
like compensation".
Influencing ..... like influencer doing some like influencing...
Like, it's like the L-word.... And once airborne,
The first round of drinks from the cart
Did you spot on the second picture the .....

?
Yes it was there !
To continue with the influencer ...
"I want a mimosa"
Patient FA: " ma'am, we do serve a new type of champagne of Laurent Perrier, would you like to try it first ?
Influencer: " i want a mimosa"
And with that she kept the whole flight topped up on mimosas for her video reel and commentary: "OMG guys,
like United has
like unlimited mimosas, it's not
like Emirates First Class where they have at least
like Dom Perignon, but
like these mimosas will have to do to keep me
like company this flight"
Aforementioned mimosa
Mimosa, in some parts also known as a buck's fizz

Back on planet sanity,
Drinks round 2 started with the presentation of the first course but in my case KSML
And aftewards the signature icecream sundae cart was rolled through the aisles
But we know how that looks like so i only have snapped a photo of the other après dinner options
The non-icecream sundae options For those feeling peckish inbetween services,
available at the front galley,
Must stick to diet : new year's resolution ....... must resist urge to devolve due to temptation.....
I'm happy to report a stellar crew,
Texan Terry + Dutch Danny dedicated to Polaris cabin,
patrolling the aisles similair to Singapore Airlines,
assisting and pre-emptive offerings / top up of drinks and rounds of the snack basket.
Passengers did not even need to leave their seat.
Sidenote: Did you know that call button was actually invented to cater to influencing whims .... and were obliged
Second meal service KSML
Others were offered the regular choice of
- Vegetarian Chili + rice & salad + chocolate chockate chip cookie
- Burger with a bag of lay's crisps + chocolate chocolate chip cookie
And that concludes my report,
this one is also dedicated to my fellow owl
kirkwoodj
as he is due to fly this route ....
Smooth sailings and i hope this review is of use to others to manage exoectations
