Polaris First Changes
I know that there is a major seat change in the new Business Polaris section. I see on some of my reservations that the First is now listed as Polaris First. I realize they are not going to change out the seats since they are doing away with F. What are some new expectations for Polaris First? Better meals; better wine; better duvets; turn down service without chasing them down?; any chance of better FA service and attitude?
Does anyone know when the IAD Polaris Lounge opens? Thanks |

Thank you. That link refers to the Polaris Business seat, I am interested in Polaris First changes and enhancement.

Best to assume that the "First" product is, as today, the business product but with some minor additions. Can't imagine they'll be investing in anything unique to the soon-to-be-history F cabin, but instead will be minor items that are supplemental to the Polaris C service product. For example, providing a soup course, a better amenity kit, and maybe an expanded dessert selection.

My SIN-HKG in January remains "Business", HKG-SFO flipped to "Polaris business".
|
March HKG-ORD in Global F, now labeled as Polaris First
|
At least in IAD you have the TK lounge if it takes a long time for the Polaris lounge to open.

This is purely speculative, but I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that Polaris First will have exactly the same soft product as Polaris Business. Would love to be proven wrong on my Polaris First flight in January, however! I just don't think we should set expectations high. Even the normal Polaris soft product will be a huge step up from the current soft product in GF, and we'll still have the far better seat/storage/privacy.

I asked specifically about this at the Chicago Polaris event last night.
Very, very minimal differences in soft product between Polaris Business and Polaris Global First. According to 2 different staff at the event, exact same catering and drinks (wines) for both cabins. PGF will have a slightly larger amenity kit and a different colored quilt/duvet thing. It really is that similar. As indicated by others above, we will have to wait for some first-hand reports, but from the plans there will be very little to differentiate other than the actual seat. |

No soup for us?
I don't know how definitive these staff comments should be taken, but heard the same story from 2 of them. Same catering for both cabins. |
Soup!! and a better attitude from the FA's.... (sometimes)
