Only time I used it was when the regular pillow they had was causing pain in my neck because it was too thick.
So I asked if they had the gel pillow well into the flight and it felt better.

United Shop opened! Duvets, gel pillows, no bears
Just saw this and am not sure how long it's been open? I think I might buy my own gel pillow rather than having to beg for one. And hope this slows down the pilfering. No Polaris bears but some cool 747 stuff!

I don't think it would be hard to prove, and you can also put it in that case (or even stitch you name on the pillow case so yours isnt stolen). I would just say, don't use this one your your Polaris flight. If the FA does take your pillow I wouldn't fight it but immediately email UA with my sales receipt and demand a new one.

I now have increased anxiety on every Polaris flight about when best to ask for a gel pillow. I'm at 100% success so far but still nervous. I'm tempted to get one just to remove this anxiety.
If you think about this situation, where I'm conditioned to want an amenity being provided but nervous to actually obtain it consistently and with ease so much that I consider bringing my own, it's sadly hilarious.

I love the idea of an embroidered MP# on the pillow case -- dry cleaners do embroidering/stitching?

Shipping is fairly fast. There is an inner white cover under the blue united polaris one, so in theory, one could bring it aboard as-is, without the blue cover.
There is a gel face to the pillow. No idea about TSA, I've never tried.
