This was my first international flight since the world reopened, and the thought of being fixed to a seat for such a long period of time filled me, in the days prior, with dread.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Suffice to say, any despair I was feeling quickly dissipated the minute I stepped on-board my flight (one of United\u2019s Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners), and saw where I\u2019d be spending the aforementioned 12-hour trip: a 52cm-wide seat that flattened to a length of 198cm, housed in an enclosed capsule design that offered privacy and ample storage. If you were also on the plane and heard me emit a squeal of excitement, no you didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\" data-kiosked-context-name=\"kskdUIContext_01gp88x4dnwb7themg2d0vgc7v\">\n<div data-desiredimagesize=\"block_large_image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/content.api.news\/v3\/images\/bin\/175d0293bea231f338737593a141a86e\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, (max-width: 1000px) 50vw, 650px\" alt=\"United Airlines Polaris Class is the airline\u2019s answer to everything travellers could wish for.
