Our new, extra-spacious United First seat was designed for comfort and convenience, whether you want to relax or work during your flight. It features beautifully contoured two-tone leather, a six-way adjustable headrest and a padded articulating seat cushion that cradles you as you recline. All around the seat you’ll find thoughtful storage spaces for your personal items, including an in-arm tablet/laptop slot, a personal water bottle console and double seatback pockets.


Seat features

The seat features a new tray table design with a flip-up mobile device holder that fits more than 200 phone and tablet models, and a universal AC power plug to charge your devices on the fly. A granite-topped extendable cocktail table in the center console adds an extra bit of elegance, keeping your tray table free for eating, working or staying entertained.

Our current amenity kits are designed in collaboration with Ua Body and inspired by their natural, clean and vegan products using local scents and ingredients. We also worked with Saks Fifth Avenue to create custom, luxury bedding for our United Polaris customers. Our new redesigned bedding has a large pillow and duvet that is made with recycled plastic content. These amenity kits and bedding are only available for travelers flying between the continental U.S. and Hawaii.
