Fleet Facts
787 UPDATE
United has always been at the forefront of aviation developments; the first airline to operate both the 767 and 777,
United will also be the first North American airline to put into service the revolutionary Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
The details are in the cabin: Lower cabin altitude and higher humidity levels will significantly reduce the effects of jet
lag. Larger windows with electrochromic shades will enable you to dim your window and still enjoy the passing terrain.
Ambient LED lighting, reduced cabin noise and a more spacious cabin design will provide an unrivaled level of comfort.
PRODUCT INVESTMENT
We are excited to introduce passengers to our newly rebranded cabin classes: United Global First ,
our international long-haul first-class cabin on three-cabin aircraft, and United BusinessFirst®, our international long-haul
business-class cabin on two- and three-cabin aircraft. Our enhanced Global First and BusinessFirst cabin services will be rolled
out over the next few months and offer customers a host of new food and beverage options, including expanded wine selections
chosen by Doug Frost, sommelier and master of wine, and additional new entrée choices. International long-haul flights will
include new amenity kits featuring Philosophy™ skincare products; higher-quality pillows and blankets; improved in-flight
entertainment; and noise-reduction headsets.
