In its latest schedule update United Airlines has added its 777-300ER aircraft to three new routes and, while ordinarily that may not be all that interesting, the fact that the 777-300ERs come fitted with the airline’s new Polaris Business Class cabin makes this newsworthy.
Three Routes Get Polaris Business Class

From 6 September United will replace the 747 that currently operates on this route with a 777-300ER aircraft. The schedule is as follows:
UA888 SFO 11:00 – 14:20+ 1 day PEK (Daily)
