Business Class on United Airlines

Business Class on United Airlines is all about comfort - comfort when working, and comfort when relaxing. On a long flight, especially an international flight, you should have plenty of time to do both.

On international Business Class, United Airlines passengers receive a drink before the plane even takes off (so you can either calm your pre-flight jitters or celebrate the vacation you are about to embark on) as well as a complimentary goodie bag with toiletries to help you freshen up after a long flight. The type of seat you will get depends on the aircraft you are flying on.

On some planes, you will get a seat that converts into a fully flat bed, lying horizontally to the ground, for maximum sleeping comfort. Some planes have seat which recline to a significant degree, but not completely. In either case, you will have lots of personal space and greater amenities than in coach, to be sure, but only United’s new International Business Class offers the truly flat beds. United is the first U.S.-based airline to offer Business Class seats which convert to beds which are truly flat.

Depending of which kind of seat you get, the comforts that come with each seat can include lumbar support, individual video screens, noise-reducing headphones, adjustable headrests, USB ports, XM Satellite Radio, power port for laptop computers and a large table for spreading out work. On some flights, including domestic Business Class in the United States (called UnitedBusiness p.s.), passengers can use individual handheld DVD players which come pre-loaded with 10 different entertainment options.

Meals in United Business Class generally include a choice between three different entrees, often including local cuisines, such as the traditional Japanese meals available on flights between the United States or Hong Kong and Japan. Business Class passengers also get a nice selection of wines, ports, liqueurs, desserts and cheeses - as well as Starbucks coffee.
