With new routes being added to airline companies and more folks opting to fly for their domestic and international travels, airline companies are looking for ways to continue to enhance their passengers’ experience. One particular airline company is looking to make changes to its international offerings and might have you seriously considering taking an international trip sooner.

United Airlines has just unveiled the United Elevated interior for its new Boeing 787-9 airplanes. The updated features you’ll find inside these planes aim to raise “the standard of international premium travel among U.S. carriers.” Its newest additions include new business class suites, the greatest number of total premium seats in United’s fleet, an Ossetra caviar amuse-bouche service, Starlink connectivity, and even larger 4K OLED seatback screens.

Each of these new suites, called the United Polaris Studio suites, is positioned in the first row of each business class section. All eight seats will lie flat and include all-aisle-access seats, which are 25% larger than existing United Polaris seats with privacy doors, an extra ottoman seat for companions, exclusive entrée options, new amenity kits with luxury skincare offerings, wireless charging, Bluetooth connectivity, and more.
