Polaris to Avianca recliner and no hotel in Lima… am I expecting too much?

Flight 887 LIM to EWR last night. Took off late, about an hour in we turned back for mechanical issues. Totally fine with that part. Safety first. Everything after was a mess. Told to call United. 1K line couldn’t help and said we had to wait at the airport counter. Over 200...

Polaris vs Premium Plus on United long haul

Just did a quick trip to Paris and ended up trying both cabins on the same route. Flew Premium Plus from San Francisco to CDG, then Polaris on the way back, so it was easy to compare the two. What stood out is that the soft product is actually pretty similar. Food, service, and...

Finally slept like a rock in Polaris ORD–BRU

Burned miles for a Polaris upgrade recently and honestly… totally worth it. Flew SFO–ORD in the morning, hung out in the Polaris lounge for a few hours, then boarded for Brussels. Had my low sodium special meal, which was actually pretty solid. After that I set up the bedding,...

Silver status and somehow ended up in Polaris

Had a pretty wild upgrade surprise on a recent SFO to HNL flight. Checked the upgrade list about 24 hours before departure and I was somewhere around #25, so I figured there was basically zero chance. There were only a handful of first class seats left. About 6 hours before the...
