United Polaris new seat vs Delta One Suite A350
I have a choice to make for an upcoming flight to Tokyo....
I can take Delta One Suite on the A350 from Detroit (connecting in from east coast) OR take a United 777 in Polaris Business in a bulkhead window nonstop.
I’ve been in UA many times and know what to expect. Just wondering if the A350 is worth it? Have a window seat on the A350 (odd numbered row, closer to the window).
appreciate any guidance....

Not sure if you're starting from CHI or NYC (/ other east coast). If ORD, the new seats aren't guaranteed for a while, I don't believe.
I guess most people will say take the nonstop unless you have other considerations you want to include.
Do you have five extra hours and a hankering for credit with Delta?

Not overly worried about the flight credit or miles on this trip ....
the seat map shows a new seat 777 and they are selling premium plus which usually means they are doing their best to put the new configuration in that market.
just never tried Delta One international and never been on a A350!

I am a huge 777 fan, but having flown A359 on 1/2 dozen airlines, now I understand why a number of airlines are choosing A350 to replace their 772/77W fleet.

If you have a desire to check out a new configuration, do so... but otherwise the nonstop is going to be much more convenient.

FWIW, the DTW SkyClubs aren't in the same league as the ORD Polaris lounge. They're barely in the same sport. Don't know if that matters.

I just didn't find them comfortable and the amenities were lacking compared to Polaris. The doors are nice, but somewhat gimmicky. Full review with pictures on my blog here:
