‍NEW YORK — United Airlines (UA) has unveiled its new United Elevated Interior on the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. 

The interior features redesigned cabin layouts, upgraded seating, and enhanced in-flight amenities across all classes, upping the company's game in international premium travel.

We’re talking about a full-blown, nose-to-tail cabin refresh, from ultra-private Polaris Studio suites to caviar service, wireless charging, Bluetooth audio at every seat, sleek 4K OLED screens, and Starlink connectivity.
