I haven't been to one in this new pandemic era but certainly during the normal times the Polaris shower rooms were always cleaned between uses, kind of like walking into a cleaned hotel room bathroom. I never had an experience where I felt it was dirty. I would definitely feel safe with that level of cleaning today.

some airports do have all outbound nonstop flights listed on their websites, so that's how I find such information sometimes...

geographically speaking, I still don't believe that Iceland completely "belongs" to Europe. It's in the middle of two continents, so it can easily be considered part of North America as well.(fortunately, United Airlines doesn't do that) Not to mention that Iceland is basically next to Greenland, which is unambiguously in North America.

(unless the info I have is out of date)French Polynesia: "For vaccinated travelers, registration must be completed
within 30 days prior to departure in order to obtain authorization to travel."

Probably best to get the travel in before Thursday when it is expected that further travel restrictions will be announced by Biden.

It would be nice if there were a list of all intl long haul flights somewhere. Even when they removed the timetable, they still had the routemap function. Now they've even removed that. The closest thing I can find is the "Explore Destinations" thing. The "non-stop" option is always greyed out when accessing on my computer, but it is available when using the app. That should allow you to visually see all the intl flights and you can fairly easily figure out flight time based on distance. You can choose "Flexible Date", I'm not sure what date range that is so you'll be missing new routes starting later on. I guess there aren't alot of people like us that don't care too much where we go and just want to see our options. Though even when you have a set destination, it is useful to see connection point options to search for PZ>0 to maximize Polaris time. Wow this is getting complicated, maybe things really are returning to normal.

You can essentially do it with Google Flights for flights up to 6 months out. Select non-stop, one-way flights on UA from an origin (or multiple origins) and then select the "Flexible Dates" option after the map view comes up. Although it will also show non-stop's on codeshare partners.
That worked really great!Now... why does it not surprise me that the solution is from Google?
